Application

Rhodium acetylacetonate serves as a versatile catalyst in organic synthesis, playing a crucial role in facilitating the hydrosilylation of diverse organic substrates, including alkenes, internal and terminal acetylenes, conjugated dienes, alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehydes, and allylic compounds. It acts as a catalyst in key transformation processes such as hydrogenation, ethanol steam reforming, CO oxidation, and NOx reduction. As an organic solvent-soluble source of rhodium metal ions, rhodium acetylacetonate is instrumental in the preparation of monodisperse, size- and shape-controlled rhodium nanocrystals. These nanocrystals, especially in monolayer form, demonstrate exceptional activity during the hydrogenation of vinylcyclohexene, selectively producing ethylcyclohexene. This control over size and shape expands its application to oil refining, chemical synthesis, and fuel cell technologies. Furthermore, when paired with group 6 or group 7 metal carbonyls, rhodium acetylacetonate proves to be an effective catalyst for the hydrogenation of carboxylic acids.
