Abstract
Abstract Benzoyl-1,1,1-trifluoroacetonato(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium I, (Rh(TFBA)(COD)], crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/ 1 c with a = 10.966 A , b = 9.817 A , c = 17.004 A , β = 113.2° and Z = 4. The compound was prepared by the reaction between [Rh(TFBA)(CO) 2 ] and cyclooctadiene. 2228 independent observed reflections were used for the structure determination. The final R value for all the reflections was 0.039. The results indicate that the oxygen atom nearest to the phenyl ring has the largest trans -effect.
