Quality Control

Our Bis(1,5-Cyclooctadiene)Bis(μ-Diphenylphosphido)Dirhodium is manufactured under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high catalytic activity. Each lot undergoes rigorous quality testing, including spectroscopic analysis and purity assessment, to ensure compliance with our internal specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and relevant physical data is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. This material is easily oxidized and light-sensitive; prolonged exposure to air or light may degrade its catalytic performance.
