Abstract: The title compound, [Rh{P(OC₇H₇)₃}₂Cl(CO)], where P(OC₇H₇)₃ is tris(2-methylphenyl)phosphite, crystallizes disordered over an inversion centre. Important geometrical parameters are Rh-P = 2.2905  (9)  Å, Rh-Cl = 2.402  (4)  Å, Rh-C = 1.764  (10)  Å, and C-Rh-Cl = 177.7  (5)°, P-Rh-Cl = 85.84  (12)° and Rh-CO = 174.7  (15)°. The effective cone angle for the phosphite ligand was calculated to be 167°.
