Chemical Bull is a Hydroxy(Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium(I) Dimer supplier, distributor, and exporter in India, supporting sourcing enquiries from fine chemical manufacturers, catalyst development teams, organic synthesis laboratories, distributors, and global B2B buyers.
Hydroxy(Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium(I) Dimer, CAS 73468-85-6, is an organometallic rhodium complex used as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in selected organic transformations. Buyers can request specifications, COA, TDS, MSDS or SDS, packing details, and commercial pricing.
Overview of Hydroxy(Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium(I) Dimer
The compound is also known as Hydroxy(1,5-Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium(I) Dimer, (Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium Hydroxide Dimer, or Bis(1,5-Cyclooctadiene)di-μ-Hydroxydirhodium(I). Its abbreviated formula is [Rh(OH)(COD)]2, where COD represents 1,5-cyclooctadiene.
It has the molecular formula C16H26O2Rh2 and a molecular weight of approximately 456.19 g/mol. The dimer contains two rhodium(I) centres, coordinated cyclooctadiene ligands, and bridging hydroxide groups.
Commercial specifications describe a solid ranging from white to yellow or orange powder or crystals. The material is air-sensitive, so packaging and handling conditions should protect it from air exposure according to the offered grade’s instructions.
Applications of Hydroxy(Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium(I) Dimer
Homogeneous Catalyst Development
The complex serves as a rhodium source for selected homogeneous catalytic systems. Catalyst development teams evaluate ligand compatibility, substrate scope, activity, and selectivity for the intended transformation.
Asymmetric Organic Synthesis
Published applications include its use with chiral phosphine ligands in the synthesis of chiral 3,3-disubstituted indanones. Product selectivity depends on the complete catalyst system and reaction conditions.
Oxygenative Addition To Terminal Alkynes
The compound has documented catalytic applications in oxygenative addition to terminal alkynes for the preparation of esters, amides, and carboxylic acids. Suitability must be assessed for the selected substrate and synthesis route.
Fine Chemical & Process Research
Synthesis laboratories use the complex in catalyst screening and reaction development. Process teams should assess reproducibility, catalyst stability, rhodium recovery, and residual metal requirements before adopting a production process.
Specifications To Check Before Procurement
Buyers should confirm CAS identity, molecular structure, appearance, purity or assay method, rhodium content where specified, residual solvents, relevant impurities, and batch analytical documentation.
Compound purity, elemental analysis, and rhodium content are different measurements. Confirm the reporting basis when comparing supplier specifications. Share any process-specific limits for chloride, moisture, or other contaminants.
Hydroxy(Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium(I) Dimer is chemically distinct from the corresponding chloro-bridged rhodium dimer. Confirm the required catalyst identity before approving an alternative.
