Bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I) hexafluoroantimonate(CAT: M106419) is a versatile organometallic compound widely used in advanced synthetic and catalytic chemistry. Featuring a rhodium(I) center coordinated to two 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) ligands and a hexafluoroantimonate counterion, it is a highly reactive catalyst precursor. This compound is essential for promoting hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and C-H activation reactions with exceptional regio- and stereoselectivity. The COD ligands provide stability while preserving the rhodium’s catalytic activity, and the hexafluoroantimonate ion enhances solubility in organic solvents. Researchers leverage this compound for fine chemical synthesis and pharmaceutical applications, making it a critical tool for developing innovative and efficient organic transformations.
