The title compound, [Rh(C8H12)(C14H28P2)]BF4, exhibits a rhodium(I) complex cation with a bidentate bis­phosphine ligand and a bidentate η22-coordinated cyclo­octa-1,5-diene. Together the ligands create a slightly distorted square-planar cordination environment for the Rh(I) atom. There are three mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit and intra­molecular P—Rh—P bite angles of 82.78 (5), 82.97 (6) and 83.09 (5)° are observed. The dihedral angles between the P—Rh—P and the X—Rh—X planes (X is the centroid of a double bond) are 14.7 (1), 14.8 (1) and 15.3 (1)°. The structure exhibits disorder of one cyclo­octa­diene ligand as well as one BF4 anion.
