Abstract
The title complex, aqua-[1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene] (η 4-cycloocta-1,5-diene)rhodium(I) tetrafluoridoborate, [Rh(C 8H 12)(C 27H 36N 2)(H 2O)]BF 4, exihibits a squareplanar geometry around the Rh(I) atom, formed by a bidentate cycloocta-1,5-diene (cod) ligand, an N-heterocylcic carbene and an aqua ligand. The complex is cationic and a BF 4- anion balances the charge. The structure exists as a hydrogenbonded dimer in the solid state, formed via interactions between the aqua ligand H atoms and the BF 4- F atoms.
