(N-Benzoyl- N-phenyl-hydroxy-laminato)carbon-yl(tri-phenyl-arsine)rhodium(I)

Abstract

The mol-ecule of the title compound, [Rh(C₁₃H₁₀NO₂){As(C₆H₅)₃}(CO)] or [Rh(BPHA)(AsPh₃)(CO)] (BPHA is the N-benzoyl-N-phenyl-hydroxy-laminate anion), comprises a bidentate N-benzoyl-N-phenyl-hydroxy-laminate anion coordinating through the O atoms to the soft Lewis acid, rhodium(I), and two monodentate ligands, viz. tri-phenyl-arsine and carbonyl. The resulting CO₂As coordination environment around the central Rh^I atom is distorted square planar.=.

Keywords: N-benzoyl-N-phenyl­hydroxamic acid; crystal structure; rhodium; tri­phenyl­arsine.
