(N-Benzoyl-N'-phenyl-thio-urea-κS)chlorido(η-1,5-cyclo-octa-diene)rhodium(I)

The title compound, [RhCl(C₈H₁₂)(C₁₄H₁₂N₂OS)], is a rhodium(I) derivative with a functionalized thio­urea ligand. Despite the presence of several heteroatoms, the thio­urea ligand coordinates only in a monodentate fashion via the S atom. The geometry of the coordination sphere is approximately square planar about the Rh^I atom, with two bonds to the π-electrons of the 1,5-cyclo­octa­diene ligand, one bond to the Cl⁻ ligand and one bond to the S atom of the thio­urea ligand. The mol­ecular structure is stabilized by intra­molecular N—H⋯O and N—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding. Inter­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter­actions lead to the formation of layers extending parallel to (011).
