title: Carbon-yl(N-nitroso-N-oxido-1-naphtylamine-κO,O')(triphenyl-phosphine-κP)rhodium(I) acetone solvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Rh(C(10)H(7)N(2)O(2))(C(18)H(15)P)(CO)]·(CH(3))(2)CO, is the second structural report of a metal complex formed with the O,O'-C(10)H(7)N(2)O(2) (neocupferrate) ligand. In the crystal structure, the metal centre is surrounded by one carbonyl ligand, one triphenyl-phosphine ligand and the bidentate neocupferrate ligand, forming a distorted square-planar RhCO(2)P coordination set which is best illustrated by the small O-Rh-O bite angle of 77.74 (10)°. There are no classical hydrogen-bond inter-actions observed for this complex.
