A mononuclear Rh^IIItetraphosphine complex, [RhCl₂(C₂₅H₄₀P₄)]BF₄·C₃D₆O, crystallized as a perdeuteroacetone solvate

Abstract

The title mononuclear RhIII complex, (bis{[2‐(diethyl­phosphino‐κP)­ethyl]­phenyl­phosphino}methane)­di­chlororho­dium(III) tetra­fluoro­borate perdeuteroacetone solvate, [RhCl2(C25H40P4)]BF4·C3D6O, is based on the racemic η4‐coordinated tetraphosphine ligand (Et2PCH2CH2)(Ph)PCH2P(Ph)(CH2CH2PEt2). The Rh—Cl distances are 2.4164 (7) and 2.4282 (7) Å, and the Rh—P bond distances are in the range 2.2501 (7)–2.3649 (7) Å, with distorted octahedral coordination geometry for the Rh atom.
