Homogeneous catalysis precursor
Serves as a defined cationic rhodium(I) source for homogeneous catalysis. The labile acetonitrile ligands are easily exchanged for phosphines, dienes or other donors to generate active catalytic species in situ.
Catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation
Rhodium(I) complexes of this type are widely used in catalysing carbon-carbon bond-forming reactions, including cycloadditions and additions to unsaturated substrates, in fine-chemical and pharmaceutical-intermediate research.
Ligand and catalyst screening
The weakly coordinating tetrafluoroborate counter-ion and exchangeable nitrile ligands make this complex a convenient platform for assembling and screening tailored rhodium catalysts in method development.
Laboratory research reagent
Used as a reagent in organometallic and coordination-chemistry research, and as a starting material for the preparation of further well-defined rhodium complexes.
