Chloro(1,5-Cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I) Dimer
Chloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I) dimer (CAS 12092-47-6), widely known as [Rh(COD)Cl]2, is an orange to red-brown crystalline rhodium complex with formula C₁₆H₂₄Cl₂Rh₂ and MW 493.08. The bridging chloride and labile cyclooctadiene ligands are easily displaced, making it a versatile organorhodium starting material.
• Asymmetric hydrogenation: precursor for chiral rhodium–diphosphine catalysts.
• Catalyst synthesis: Rh(I) source for hydroformylation, hydroboration and hydrosilylation.
• C–H functionalisation: rhodium-catalysed directed C–H activation and annulation.
• Materials and research: rhodium film deposition and rhodium-containing functional complexes.
