title: Acetonitrile-trichloridobis(cyclo-hexyl-diphenyl-phosphane)rhodium(III) acetonitrile disolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [RhCl(3)(CH(3)CN)(C(18)H(21)P)(2)]·2CH(3)CN, the complex mol-ecule lies on a twofold rotation axis that passes through the Rh(III) atom, one Cl atom, and the C and N atoms of the coordinated acetonitrile mol-ecule. The Rh(III) atom is coordinated by two P atoms in trans positions, three Cl atoms and an acetonitrile mol-ecule in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-actions are observed. The uncoordinated acetonitrile mol-ecule is disordered over two sites with occupancies of 0.588 (4) and 0.412 (4).
