[(1R,4S)-(+)-3-Benzoyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-olato-κ2O2,O3](η4-norbornadiene)rhodium(I)

Abstract

In the title complex molecule, [Rh(C17H19O2)(C7H8)], the rhodium(I) metal centre is coordinated by the O atoms of a benzoylcamphorate anion and the C=C bonds of the norbornadiene molecule into a slightly distorted square-planar coordination geometry. The six-membered chelate ring is essentially planar (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0378 Å) and forms a dihedral angle of 31.67 (11)° with the phenyl ring.
