Quality Control

Our Acetylacetonatobis(Cyclooctene)Rhodium (I) is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic performance. Each lot undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR and elemental analysis, to verify identity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C to maintain stability and prevent decomposition. This material is easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and is light-sensitive (store away from light). Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
