The reaction of (η3-allyl)[(1,2,5,6-η)-cycloocta-1,5-diene]rhodium(I) with tris(2,4-di-tert-butylphenyl)phosphite in toluene produces the title compound, [Rh(C42H62O3P)(C8H12)]·C7H8, by spontaneous metallation at one of the nonsubstituted phenyl ortho-C atoms of the phosphite molecule. The coordination geometry at the RhI ion is distorted square-planar. The toluene solvent molecule is disordered over two different orientations, with site-occupation factors of 0.810 (2) and 0.190 (2).
