(Bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene)chlororhodium(I) dimer(Cat No.: M063997), commonly written as [RhCl(nbd)]2[RhCl(nbd)]_2[RhCl(nbd)]2​, is an organometallic compound featuring two rhodium(I) centers, each coordinated to a norbornadiene (nbd) ligand and bridged by chloride ligands. It appears as a dark red crystalline solid and is widely used as a precursor in homogeneous catalysis. Its reactive Rh(I) centers enable ligand substitution, making it valuable in the synthesis of rhodium complexes for hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and C–H activation reactions. It plays a crucial role in fine chemical and pharmaceutical synthesis.
