Abstract

In the title compound, [Rh(C(13)H(16)NO)(CO)(2)], a square-planar coordination geometry is observed around the Rh(I) atom, formed by the N and O atoms of the bidentate ligand and two C atoms from two carbonyl ligands. The Rh(I) atom is displaced from the plane through these surrounding atoms by 0.0085 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between the benzene ring and the N-C-C-C-O plane is 89.82 (6)°, and the N-Rh-O bite angle for the bidentate ligand is 90.53 (6)°. An inter-molecular C-H⋯O inter-action is observed between a methyl group of the benzene ring and a carbonyl O atom.
