Description
Summary:The title half-sandwich rhodium(III) complex, [Rh(C 10 H 15 )(C 7 H 7 O 3 S) 2 (H 2 O)]·H 2 O, consists of a π-bonded penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl group, two σ-bonded tosyl­ate groups and an aqua ligand. The structure displays both inter- and intra­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding. The inter­molecular hydrogen bonding results in an extended helical chain along a 2 1 screw axis parallel to c , due to hydrogen bonding from the coordinating water ligand to the lattice water mol­ecule and then to a sulfonate O atom of a different asymmetric unit.
