NBO calculations revealed donor – acceptor NBO interactions between the lone pair on rhodium of one molecule and (i) the empty antibonding orbital on C-H of the nearest thienyl group of a neighbouring molecule, as well as with the (ii) the empty antibonding orbital on two carbons of the nearest thienyl group to rhodium on the neighbouring molecule.
