(N-Benzoyl-N',N'-diphenyl-thio-ureato-κ(2)S,O)(η(4)-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)rhodium(I).
The title complex, [Rh(C(20)H(15)N(2)OS)(C(8)H(12))], exhibits an essentially square-planar coordination environment around the Rh(I) atom, which bears a bidentate cyclo-octa-diene ligand as well as a monoanionic bidentate benzoyl-thio-ureate ligand. The Rh(I) atom, the S- and O-donor atoms and the alkene centroids of the cyclo-octa-diene ligand do not deviate by more than 0.031 Å from their least mean-squares plane.
