The crystal and molecular structure of the title compound, [RhCl(C8H12){P(C6H5)3}], has been determined by means of X-ray diffraction. Compounds of this nature are important because of their ability to act as homogenous hydrogenation catalysts and to serve as precursors for more elaborate compounds.

Special details top

Refinement. The structure for this molecule was refined several years ago using a mainframe computer. Because cycles of refinment on the mainframe were so time consuming, refinment on this molecule was stopped when the the largest ratio of the refinment shift to standard uncertaintly was equal to 0.28. The MolEN program which was used for refinment is no longer available for our use.
