Tetracarbonyldi-µ-chlorodirhodium(I) Description:
Tetracarbonyldi-µ-chlorodirhodium(I), commonly written as [Rh(CO)₂Cl]2, is an organometallic compound containing two rhodium (I) centers. In this compound, two rhodium atoms are bridged by two chloride (Cl) ions and are each coordinated by two carbon monoxide (CO) ligands. This complex is a useful precursor in organometallic chemistry for synthesizing various rhodium-based catalysts and is valued for its ability to facilitate reactions involving CO insertion and metal-carbonyl chemistry.
