Reaction of $\mathrm{Ph_2PCH_2CH_2PPh_2}$ with $[\mathrm{RhCl(CO)_2}]_2$ in a 2:1 molar ratio gives a crystalline solid A. The IR spectrum of complex A shows $v_{co}$ at $1985\,\mathrm{cm^{-1}}$. The $^{31}\mathrm{P}\{^1\mathrm{H}\}$ NMR spectrum of A consists of two doublets of doublets of equal intensities ($^{103}\mathrm{Rh}$ is 100% abundant and $I=1/2$). The structure of complex A is
