Abstract
A new triazole-based neutral Rh(I) complex, [Rh(Cl(0.846)Br(0.154))(C(6)H(11)N(3))(C(8)H(12))], has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The Rh(I) atom has a distorted square-planar coordination environment, formed by a bidentate cyclo-octa-1,5-diene (COD) ligand, an N-heterocyclic carbene and a halide ligand that shows substitutional disorder (Cl:Br = 0.846:0.154). No significant inter-molecular inter-actions other than van der Waals forces are found in the crystal structure. Diffraction data indicated a two-component inversion twin with a ratio of 0.95 (5):0.05 (5).
