Abstract: The title mononuclear Rh^III complex, (bis{[2-(diethylphosphino-P)ethyl]phenylphosphino}methane)dichlororhodium(III) tetrafluoroborate perdeuteroacetone solvate, [RhCl₂(C₂₅H₄₀P₄)]BF₄·C₃D₆O, is based on the racemic ⁴-coordinated tetraphosphine ligand (Et₂PCH₂CH₂)(Ph)PCH₂P(Ph)(CH₂CH₂PEt₂). The Rh-Cl distances are 2.4164  (7) and 2.4282  (7)  Å, and the Rh-P bond distances are in the range 2.2501  (7)-2.3649  (7)  Å, with distorted octahedral coordination geometry for the Rh atom.
