Abstract
The title compound, [Rh(C8H12)(C18H16NP)]BF4has been prepared as a precatalyst for applications in rhodium-catalysed additions of carbocyclic acids to terminal alkynes leading toanti-MarkovnikovZ-enol esters. Here the triclinic pseudopolymorph of the title compound is presented. In contrast to the earlier reported pseudopolymorph (orthorhombic space group) [Weiet al.(2013).Chem. Eur. J.19, 12067–12076], the triclinic polymorph contains half a molecule of dichloromethane as solvent in the asymmetric unit. The rhodium(I) atom exhibits a square-planar coordination. The estimated diffraction contribution of the disordered solvent (a half molecule of dichloroethane per asymmetric unit) was subtracted from the observed diffraction data using the SQUEEZE [Spek (2015).Acta Cryst.C71, 9–16] routine inPLATON. The given chemical formula and other crystal data do not take the solvent into account.
