13C MAS NMR spectrum of polycrystalline [Rh(Acac)(CO) 2 ] (1) displays separate signals from all 7 carbon atoms: 2 doublets from CO ligand carbons along with 5 singlets from Acac carbons.GIPAW calculation of 13 C shielding tensor values also revealed nonequivalence of all carbon atoms in molecule 1 in the anisotropic medium of the crystal lattice. Apparently, the C 2v symmetry of molecule 1 is broken owing to the asymmetry of its contacts to the neighboring molecules. For example, the contacts O···H-C of two CO ligands of molecule 1 to the CH group of the closest molecule in the adjacent stack are markedly different: the distances OH are 2.72 and 4.38 Å, OC are 3.65 and 5.00 Å, the angles OHC are 164.9° and 126.4°.
