Rhodium triiodide (Cat No.: M079424) is an inorganic compound consisting of rhodium in the +3 oxidation state coordinated with three iodide ions. Typically appearing as a dark brown to black solid, it is sparingly soluble in water and more soluble in coordinating solvents. Rhodium triiodide is used as a precursor in the synthesis of rhodium complexes for catalytic applications, including hydrogenation and carbon-carbon bond formation. Its rich coordination chemistry and reactivity make it valuable in organometallic research and materials development.
