The title compound, [3,3-(PPh3)2-3-Cl-3,1,2-RhC2B9H11] or [RhCl(C2H11B9)(C18H15P)2].1.1CH2Cl2, contains a triangulated icosahedral closo-RhC2B9 cage. Principal bond distances are: Rh-Cl 2.423 (2), Rh-P 2.373 (2) and 2.383 (2); Rh-C 2.190 (6) and 2.191 (6); Rh-B 2.203 (8)-2.289 (8) Å. The conformation of the Rh(PPh3)2Cl group above the C2B3-face of the dicarborane ligand is such that the Rh-Cl bond is located above the cage C-C vector.
