Cyclooctadiene rhodium chloride dimer is the organorhodium 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 heating a solution of hydrated rhodium trichloride with 1,5-cyclooctadiene in aqueous ethanol in the presence of sodium carbonate:[1][2]

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

[RhCl(COD)]2 is principally used as a source of the electrophile "[Rh(COD)]+."

[RhCl(COD)]2 + Шаблон:MvarL → [LШаблон:MvarRh(COD)]+Cl (where L = PR3, alkene, etc. and Шаблон:Mvar = 2 or 3)

In this way, chiral phosphines can be attached to Rh. The resulting chiral complexes are capable of asymmetric hydrogenation.[3] A related but still more reactive complex is chlorobis(cyclooctene)rhodium dimer. The dimer reacts with a variety of Lewis bases (L) to form adducts with the stoichiometry RhCl(L)(COD).

Structure

The molecule consists of a pair of square planar Rh centers bound to a 1,5-cyclooctadiene and two chloride ligands that are shared between the Rh centers. The Rh2Cl2 core is also approximately planar,[4] in contrast to the highly bent structure of cyclooctadiene iridium chloride dimer where the dihedral angle is 86°.
