Chloridotris[tris­(4-fluoro­phen­yl)phosphine]rhodium(I) methanol solvate

In the title compound, [RhCl{P(p-FC(6)H(4))(3)}(3)]·CH(3)OH, the Rh atom adopts a distorted square-planar geometry. Rh, Cl and one P atom lie on a mirror plane, as does the solvent molecule. There are two inter­molecular hydrogen bonds, one between the methanol O atom and an aryl H atom (2.51 Å), and one between the Cl atom and the hydr­oxy H atom of methanol [2.34 (3) Å]. The complex precipitates in trace amounts from a reaction between RhCl(cod)(thp) [cod is 1,5-cyclo­octa­diene and thp is tris­(hydroxy­meth­yl)phos­phine] and P(p-FC(6)H(4))(3) under argon in CD(3)OD. Two C(6)H(4)-F units are disordered over two positions; for one the site occupancy factors are ca. 0.53 and 0.47, for the other the values are ca. 0.64 and 0.36. The methyl H atoms of the solvent molecule are disordered across the mirror plane.
