Chlorido(η 4-cyclo­octa-1,5-diene)(N,N′-diethyl­thio­urea-κS)rhodium(I)

Abstract

In the title rhodium(I) complex, [RhCl(C8H12)(C5H12N2S)], N,N′-diethyl­thio­urea acts as a monodenate S-donor ligand. The rhodium(I) coordination sphere is completed by the Cl atom and the COD [= 1,5-cyclo­octa­diene] ligand inter­acting through the π-electrons of the double bonds. If the midpoints of these two bonds are taken into account, the Rh atom exhibits a distorted square-planar coordination. The syn conformation of the N,N′-diethyl­thio­urea ligand with respect to the Cl atom is stabilized by an intra­molecular N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond. A weak inter­molecular N—H⋯Cl inter­action links mol­ecules along the a axis
