Centimeter-sized single crystals of Sr1.5La0.5RhO4 were grown by the floating zone method at oxygen pressures of 20~bar. The quality of our single crystals was confirmed by X-ray Laue, powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction, neutron and X-ray absorbtion spectroscopy measurements. At ∼50% electron doping we observe RhO3 octahedral rotations of ∼8.2∘ within the octahedral basal plane which are incompatible with space group I4/mmm. Our single crystal was further characterized by susceptibility, electrical transport and, finally, specific heat measurements showing a temperature dependent Debye temperature.
