Dicarbonyl[4-(2,6-dimethylphenylamino)pent-3-en-2-onato-κ2N,O]rhodium(I)

In the title compound, [Rh(C13H16NO)(CO)2], a square-planar coordination geometry is observed around the RhI atom, formed by the N and O atoms of the bidentate ligand and two C atoms from two carbonyl ligands. The RhI atom is displaced from the plane through these surrounding atoms by 0.0085&amp...

Description
Summary:In the title compound, [Rh(C13H16NO)(CO)2], a square-planar coordination geometry is observed around the RhI atom, formed by the N and O atoms of the bidentate ligand and two C atoms from two carbonyl ligands. The RhI atom is displaced from the plane through these surrounding atoms by 0.0085 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the N—C—C—C—O plane is 89.82 (6)°, and the N—Rh—O bite angle for the bidentate ligand is 90.53 (6)°. An intermolecular C—H...O interaction is observed between a methyl group of the benzene ring and a carbonyl O atom.
