Abstract: The title compound, trans-[RhCl(C₁₈F₁₅P)₂(CO)], crystallizes with one independent molecule in the asymmetric unit. Important geometric parameters are Rh-P = 2.2797 (14) and 2.2993 (14) Å, Rh-Cl = 2.3642 (12) Å, Rh-C = 1.824 (4) Å, C-Rh-Cl = 174.12 (13)°, P-Rh-C = 91.73 (13) and 93.71 (13)°, P-Rh-P = 169.38 (4)° and Rh-CO = 176.7 (4)°. The effective cone angles (_E) for the phosphine ligands were calculated to be 172 and 173°.
