Acetylacetonato(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I)（Cat No.:M055602）, often abbreviated as [Rh(acac)(COD)], is a square planar organorhodium complex featuring an acetylacetonate (acac) ligand and a 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) ligand. This compound is widely used as a homogeneous catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis, particularly in hydrogenation, hydroboration, and C–C bond-forming reactions. The acac ligand stabilizes the rhodium center, while COD acts as a labile ligand that can be easily displaced during catalysis. Its high reactivity and versatility make it valuable in fine chemical synthesis, asymmetric catalysis, and transition metal-mediated transformations.
