title: [N,N'-Bis(4-chloro-phen-yl)pentane-2,4-diiminato]dicarbonyl-rhodium(I).
abstract: The title compound, [Rh(C(17)H(15)Cl(2)N(2))(CO)(2)], is a rhodium(I) derivative of a β-diketiminato moiety. It is an example of a new type of β-diketiminate derivative that has not yet been characterized via solid-state methods. The complex crystallizes with a distorted square-planar geometry about the Rh(I) atom (m symmetry). A weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O contact is observed.
