Bis(acetonitrile)(1,5-cyclooctadiene)rhodium(I) tetrafluoroborate（Cat No.:L036330）is a cationic rhodium(I) complex widely used in homogeneous catalysis. It features a rhodium center coordinated with two acetonitrile ligands and one 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD) ligand, stabilized by a tetrafluoroborate (BF₄⁻) counterion. The COD ligand offers chelation and rigidity, while the labile acetonitrile ligands can be readily displaced by substrates or other ligands, making the complex highly versatile in catalytic cycles. This compound is frequently employed in reactions such as hydroamination, hydrogenation, and cycloadditions, providing excellent control over regio- and stereoselectivity in organic synthesis.
