trans-Carbonylchloridobis[tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphane-κP]rhodium(I)

The title complex, [RhCl(C21H21O3P)2(CO)], is a rhodium analogue to Vaska's complex with para-methoxy substituents on the six phosphanyl–aryl units. Two independent molecules are present in the unit cell, with their metal atoms both located on an inversion centre. This causes the...
