Article abstract of DOI:10.1107/S0108270194012424

The structure of the title compound, trichloro-2κ³Cl(5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato-1κ⁴N^21,22,23,24)rhodium(III)tin(II)(Rh-Sn), , consists of well separated units in which the Rh atom is five-coordinate at the center of a square-pyramidal polyhedron with the Sn atom at the top.The macrocyclic unit is planar with the Rh atom displaced by only 0.02 Angstroem from the ring plane.The Rh-Sn bond length is 2.450 (1) Angstroem.
