title: trans-Carbonyl-chloridobis(tri-o-tolyl-phosphane-κP)rhodium(I).
abstract: In the title compound, [RhCl(C(21)H(21)P)(2)(CO)], the coordination geometry around the Rh(I) atom is slightly distorted square-planar with the phosphane ligands in trans positions with respect to each other. The chloride and carbonyl ligands show positional disorder, and the Rh(I) atom lies on a center of inversion. The effective cone angle Θ(E) for the title compound is 169.0 (3)°. There are no significant inter-molecular inter-actions.
