Application

Rhodium(III) chloride hydrate (RhCl3. xH2O) can be used as a metal precursor in the synthesis of:
  • Rhodium-cobalt (Rh-Co) (a bimetallic catalyst) supported on silica for Fischer−Tropsch (FT) synthesis.
  • Rhodium (III) catalyst, N-2-(2,3,4,5 tetramethylcyclopentadienyl)benzyl-(l)-norephedrine rhodium(III) chloride for asymmetric ketone reduction.
  • Rh@CTF (covalent triazine frameworks) catalyst for the hydroformylation of 1-octene.
