Abstract: In the title compound, [Rh(C₁₃H₁₆NO)(C₁₈H₁₅P)(CO)], the coordination geometry of the Rh^I atom is square-planar, formed by the coordinating N and O atoms of the bidentate enaminoketonate ligand, one C atom from the carbonyl group and a P atom from triphenylphosphine. The complex displays a 0.591 (3):0.409 (3) ratio disorder of the phenyl unit of the monoanionic N,O-bidentate ligand. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding is observed between a C-H group of the triphenylphosphine unit and the O atom of the enaminoketonate ligand.
