Abstract
The title complex, aqua[1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene](η4-cycloocta-1,5-diene)rhodium(I) tetrafluoridoborate, [Rh(C8H12)(C27H36N2)(H2O)]BF4, exihibits a square-planar geometry around the Rh(I) atom, formed by a bidentate cycloocta-1,5-diene (cod) ligand, an N-heterocylcic carbene and an aqua ligand. The complex is cationic and a BF4 − anion balances the charge. The structure exists as a hydrogen-bonded dimer in the solid state, formed via interactions between the aqua ligand H atoms and the BF4 − F atoms.
