R. Meijboom, A. Muller and A. Roodt

Abstract: The title compound, [RhCl{P(C₇H₇)₃}₂(CO)]·CH₂Cl₂, where P(C₇H₇)₃ is tri-m-tolylphosphine, crystallizes with a dichloromethane molecule in the asymmetric unit. Important geometrical parameters are Rh-P = 2.3229  (15) and 2.3269  (15)  Å, Rh-Cl = 2.3659  (15)  Å, Rh-C = 1.793  (6)  Å, C-Rh-Cl = 174.6  (2)°, P-Rh-C = 90.33  (17)° and 92.68  (17)°, and Rh-CO = 176.2  (5)°. The effective cone angles for the phosphine ligands were calculated to be 160 and 155°.
