(+)-Chlorido[(1,2,3,4-Eta; Kappa P-2')-2'-Diphenylphosphanyl-2-Diphenylphosphoryl-1,1'-Binaphthyl] Rhodium(I) Methanol Mono-Solvate

In the title complex, [RhCl(C(44)H(32)OP(2))]·CH(3)OH, the Rh(I) ion is coordinated by a naphthyl group of a partially oxidized 2,2'-bis-(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)-1,1'-binaphthyl (BINAP) ligand in a η(4) mode, one P atom of the diphenyl-phosphanyl group and one Cl atom. The P=O group does not inter-act with the Rh(I) ion but accepts an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond from the methanol solvent mol-ecule.
