Abstract: The title compound, [Rh(C₁₀H₇N₂O₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)(CO)]·(CH₃)₂CO, is the second structural report of a metal complex formed with the O,O'-C₁₀H₇N₂O₂ (neocupferrate) ligand. In the crystal structure, the metal centre is surrounded by one carbonyl ligand, one triphenylphosphine ligand and the bidentate neocupferrate ligand, forming a distorted square-planar RhCO₂P coordination set which is best illustrated by the small O-Rh-O bite angle of 77.74 (10)°. There are no classical hydrogen-bond interactions observed for this complex.
