(+)-Chlorido[(1,2,3,4-η;P 2′)-2′- diphenylphosphanyl-2-diphenylphosphoryl-1,1′-binaphthyl]rhodium(I) methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title complex, [RhCl(C 44H 32OP 2)]·CH 3OH, the Rh I ion is coordinated by a naphthyl group of a partially oxidized 2,2′-bis-(diphenylphosphanyl)-1, 1′-binaphthyl (BINAP) ligand in a 4 mode, one P atom of the diphenylphosphanyl group and one Cl atom. The P=O group does not interact with the Rh I ion but accepts an O - H⋯O hydrogen bond from the methanol solvent molecule.
