Carbonyltris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I) hydride(CAT: M077084) is a well-characterized organorhodium complex widely employed in homogeneous catalysis and organometallic chemistry. Featuring a rhodium center coordinated to three triphenylphosphine ligands, a carbonyl group, and a hydride ligand, it serves as a versatile catalyst in hydroformylation, hydrogenation, and C–C bond formation reactions. Its defined coordination environment provides a model system for studying transition metal hydride reactivity, ligand effects, and mechanistic pathways in catalysis. Beyond fundamental research, this complex has applications in fine chemical synthesis and industrial catalytic processes, making it a cornerstone reagent in organometallic and coordination chemistry investigations.
