Cyclooctadiene rhodium chloride dimer is the chemical compound with the formula Rh₂Cl₂(C₈H₁₂)₂, commonly abbreviated [RhCl(COD)]₂ or Rh₂Cl₂(COD)₂. This yellow-orange, air-stable compound is a widely used precursor to homogeneous catalysts.^[1].

Preparation and reactions

The synthesis of [RhCl(COD)]₂ involves treatment of hydrated rhodium trichloride with 1,5-cyclooctadiene in hot, deoxygenated aqueous ethanol in the presence of sodium carbonate:^[1]

2 RhCl₃.3(H₂O) + 2 COD + 2 CH₃CH₂OH + 2 Na₂CO₃ → [RhCl(COD)]₂ + 2 CH₃CHO + 8 H₂O + 2 CO₂ + 4 NaCl

[RhCl(COD)]₂ is the principal source of the versatile electrophile "[Rh(COD)]⁺."

[RhCl(COD)]₂ + n L → [L_nRh(COD)]⁺Cl^- (where L = PR₃, alkene, etc. and n = 2 or 3)

In this way, chiral phosphines such as chiraphos, DIPAMP, and DIOP have been attached to Rh. The resulting chiral catalysts are capable of asymmetrically hydrogenating certain prochiral alkenes.^[2]
