Carbonyl(3,7-dichlorotropolonato)(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)

G. Steyl

Abstract: The title compound, [Rh(C₇H₃Cl₂O₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)(CO)], is a rhodium(I) derivative of chlorinated tropolonate. It crystallizes with a nearly square-planar geometry about the rhodium(I) metal centre. The most important bond distances and angles include: Rh-O(trans P) = 2.086 (2) Å, Rh-O(trans carbonyl) = 2.056 (2) Å, Rh-P = 2.2377 (8) Å, Rh-C(carbonyl) = 1.809 (2) Å, O-Rh-O = 76.60 (6)° and O-C-C-O = -3.0 (3)°.
