Abstract
There are two independent ion pairs in the asymmetric unit with each complex cation exhibiting a distorted square-planar conformation around the rhodium(I) atom.
A new, cationic N-heterocyclic carbene RhI complex with a tetrafluoridoborate counter-anion, [Rh(C8H12)(C8H15N3)(C18H15P)]BF4, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. There are two independent ion pairs in the asymmetric unit. Each complex cation exhibits a distorted square-planar conformation around the RhI atom. Bond lengths and bond angles are as expected for an Rh–NHC complex. There are several close, non-standard C—H⋯F hydrogen-bonding interactions between the ions. One of the tetrafluoridoborate anions shows statistical disorder of the F atoms.
