Quality Control

Our Hydrido(1,5-Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium(I)Tetramer is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. 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 ensure compliance with your research and production requirements.

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 tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
