L. Kirsten, G. Steyl and A. Roodt

Abstract: The title compound, [RhCl(C₁₉H₁₇P)₂(CO)], can be characterized as a Vaska-type complex containing a diphenyl(4-tolyl)phosphine ligand. The rhodium(I) metal centre has a square-planar coordination. The molecule is disordered, with the Rh atom lying on an inversion centre. The most important bond lengths and angles include Rh-P = 2.3315 (9) Å, Rh-Cl(trans CO) = 2.405 (2) Å, Rh-C(carbonyl) = 1.724 (11) Å and Rh-C-O = 178.0 (6)°.
