In the title compound, [Rh(C13H16NO)(C18H15P)(CO)], the coordination geometry of the RhI 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.

To a 5 ml acetone solution of [Rh(2,3-diMe-Phony)(CO)2] (0.0204 g, 56.48 mmol) was added PPh3 (0.0151 g, 57.57 mmol) resulting in the immediate evolution of gas. Crystallization from acetone produced yellow crystals in quantitative yield (0.0334 g). IR (KBr): νCO 1966.93 s (cm-1).
The methyl and aromatic H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.98 and 0.95 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) and 1.2Ueq(C), respectively. The methyl groups were generated to fit the difference electron density and the groups were then refined as rigid rotors.
Rhodium(I) dicarbonyl complexes of the type [Rh(L,L')(CO)2] containing chelating mono-anionic bidentate (L,L') ligands coordinated to rhodium via (O,O) donor atoms have been studied as catalyst precursors (Cornils & Herrmann, 1996; Trzeciak & Ziółkowski, 1994; van Rooy et al., 1995). In this study the investigation of these β-diketonato complexes is followed by complexes containing bidentate β-enaminoketonato ligands such as 4-(phenylamino)pent-3-en-2-onato (Phony) (Shaheen et al., 2006) coordinated to rhodium via (N,O) donor atoms. Dicarbonyl complexes of the [Rh(N,O-bid)(CO)2]-type (Varshavsky et al., 2001) react with phosphorus ligands to form [Rh(N,O-bid)(CO)(PZ3)] complexes (Damoense et al., 1994; Varshavsky et al., 2001). According to Bonati & Wilkinson (1964), only one CO group will be substituted by triphenylphosphine, with the product being one of two possible isomers. Since N atom has a larger trans-influence than O atom, the CO group trans to the N atom will be substituted. This is evident in the title compound (Fig. 1), where [Rh(2,3-diMe-Phony)(CO)(PPh3)] is formed by the substitution of the carbonyl ligand in the dicarbonyl rhodium(I) complex [Rh(2,3-diMe-Phony)(CO)2] by PPh3.
Bond distances involving Rh atom in the title complex differ significantly from the distances in related complexes (Table 2). The Rh—N bond distance in the title complex is longer than those in similar complexes while the Rh—O bond distance is shorter. This is due to the steric influence of the phenyl group connected to N atom in the title compound, as opposed to H atom in the related complexes. The Rh—C and the carbonyl C—O bond distances do not differ substantially from the distances in the related complexes (Table 2). The N—Rh—O bite angle is slightly larger than those observed in similar complexes found in literature. The effective cone angle, θE (Tolman, 1977), of 156.39 (3)° is similar to the angles in the related compounds. The title complex displays a disorder of the phenyl ring in a 59:41% ratio.

Rhodium(I) dicarbonyl complexes of the type [Rh(L,L')(CO)2] containing chelating mono-anionic bidentate (L,L') ligands coordinated to rhodium via (O,O) donor atoms have been studied as catalyst precursors (Cornils & Herrmann, 1996; Trzeciak & Ziółkowski, 1994; van Rooy et al., 1995). In this study the investigation of these β-diketonato complexes is followed by complexes containing bidentate β-enaminoketonato ligands such as 4-(phenylamino)pent-3-en-2-onato (Phony) (Shaheen et al., 2006) coordinated to rhodium via (N,O) donor atoms. Dicarbonyl complexes of the [Rh(N,O-bid)(CO)2]-type (Varshavsky et al., 2001) react with phosphorus ligands to form [Rh(N,O-bid)(CO)(PZ3)] complexes (Damoense et al., 1994; Varshavsky et al., 2001). According to Bonati & Wilkinson (1964), only one CO group will be substituted by triphenylphosphine, with the product being one of two possible isomers. Since N atom has a larger trans-influence than O atom, the CO group trans to the N atom will be substituted. This is evident in the title compound (Fig. 1), where [Rh(2,3-diMe-Phony)(CO)(PPh3)] is formed by the substitution of the carbonyl ligand in the dicarbonyl rhodium(I) complex [Rh(2,3-diMe-Phony)(CO)2] by PPh3.
Bond distances involving Rh atom in the title complex differ significantly from the distances in related complexes (Table 2). The Rh—N bond distance in the title complex is longer than those in similar complexes while the Rh—O bond distance is shorter. This is due to the steric influence of the phenyl group connected to N atom in the title compound, as opposed to H atom in the related complexes. The Rh—C and the carbonyl C—O bond distances do not differ substantially from the distances in the related complexes (Table 2). The N—Rh—O bite angle is slightly larger than those observed in similar complexes found in literature. The effective cone angle, θE (Tolman, 1977), of 156.39 (3)° is similar to the angles in the related compounds. The title complex displays a disorder of the phenyl ring in a 59:41% ratio.
