Abstract
A new -heterocyclic cationic rhodium(I) complex with a tetra-fluorido-borate counter-anion, [Rh(CHN)(CH)(CHP)]BF, has been prepared and structurally characterized. The cationic complex exhibits a distorted square-planar environment around the rhodium(I) ion. Two connections are made from rhodium(I) to the carbon atom of an -heterocylic carbene ligand and to the phospho-rus atom of a tri-phenyl-phosphane ligand. The remaining two coordination sites are made a bidentate inter-action from the two olefinic bonds of cyclo-octa-diene to the rhodium(I) ion. The compound includes an out-sphere tetra-fluorido-borate counter-anion. Within the crystal of the compound exist several weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F inter-actions.
