rac-Carbonyl{1-[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]ethanethiolato}(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I)

The title compound, [Rh(C15H16PS)(C18H15P)(CO)], was synthesized from the reaction of the ligand rac-[Ph2PCH2CH(CH3)SH] with trans-[Rh(F)(CO)(PPh3)2] in a 1:1 molar ratio in toluene. The Rh atom is four-coordinated in a distorted square-planar geometry with the P—S ligand [Ph2PCH2CH(CH3)S] acting as a chelate and the PPh3 and disordered CO [site occupation factors of 0.61 (5) and 0.39 (5)] ligands completing the coordination.
