Crystal structure of chlorido(2-{1-[2-(4-chlorophenyl)hydrazin-1-ylidene-κN]ethyl}pyridine-κN)(η⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)rhodium(III) chloride

Abstract

The title compound, [Rh(η5-C5Me5)Cl(C13H12ClN3)]Cl, is chiral at the metal and crystallizes as a racemate. Upon coordination, the hydrazinyl­idene­pyridine ligand is non-planar, an angle of 54.42 (7)° being observed between the pyridine ring and the aromatic ring of the [2-(4-chloro­phen­yl)hydrazin-1-yl­idene]ethyl group.
