Bis[(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)dichloro-rhodium]（Cat No.:M059494）, often abbreviated as [CpRhCl₂]₂, is a rhodium-based organometallic dimer featuring two pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp) ligands and four chloride ligands bridging the rhodium centers. This compound is widely used as a precatalyst in homogeneous catalysis, particularly in C–H activation, hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and borylation reactions. The electron-rich Cp* ligands enhance the stability and reactivity of the rhodium center, making the complex valuable in fine chemical synthesis and mechanistic studies. Its well-defined structure and versatile reactivity make it a key reagent in organometallic and catalytic research involving late transition metals.
