Description

(Acetylacetonato)dicarbonylrhodium(I) (CAS: 14874-82-9) is a highly specialized organometallic compound with the molecular formula C₇H₈O₄Rh. This air-sensitive, yellow crystalline solid is widely utilized in homogeneous catalysis and organic synthesis due to its unique reactivity as a rhodium(I) precursor. The compound features an acetylacetonate (acac) ligand alongside two carbonyl groups, offering excellent stability while maintaining catalytic activity. It is particularly valued for hydroformylation, hydrogenation, and carbonylation reactions in pharmaceutical and fine chemical industries. Supplied in high purity (typically ≥95%), this reagent should be stored under inert atmosphere at low temperatures to prevent decomposition. Available in research quantities (mg to kg scale) with custom packaging options.
