Abstract
In the title compound, [Rh(C2H11B9)(NO3)(C18H15P)2]·2.2CH2Cl2, studied as a 2.2‐solvate of what was assumed to be dichloromethane, the nitrate ligand lies cis with respect to both cage C atoms. Accordingly, the compound displays a pronounced preferred exopolyhedral ligand orientation (ELO) which is traced to both the greater trans influence of the cage B over the cage C atoms and the greater trans influence of the triphenylphosphane ligands over the nitrate ligand. The overall molecular architecture therefore agrees with that of a number of similar 3‐L‐3,3‐L′2‐3,1,2‐closo‐MC2B9H11 species in the literature.
