Description

(Bicyclo[2.2.1]Hepta-2,5-Diene)[1,1'-Bis(Diphenylphosphino)-Ferrocene] Rhodium(I) Perchlorate is a highly specialized organometallic catalyst, specifically a rhodium(I) complex with a chiral ferrocenyl diphosphine ligand. This compound matters for its exceptional efficiency and selectivity in asymmetric hydrogenation and other transition metal-catalyzed reactions, enabling the synthesis of high-value chiral intermediates. It is primarily needed by research institutions and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical sectors for developing novel active ingredients and advanced materials.

Application

• Asymmetric Hydrogenation Catalyst: For the enantioselective synthesis of chiral amino acids, pharmaceutical intermediates, and fine chemicals.
• Pharmaceutical R&D: Key catalyst in the development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring high stereochemical purity.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the production of chiral herbicides, fungicides, and plant growth regulators.
• Academic & Industrial Research: A valuable tool for methodological studies in organometallic chemistry and catalysis.
• Fine Chemical Production: Enables cost-effective and sustainable routes to complex, high-purity specialty molecules.
• Ligand Screening & Catalyst Development: Serves as a benchmark or precursor complex for developing new catalytic systems.

Quality Control

Every batch of our high-purity organometallic catalysts is produced and tested under strict inert atmosphere conditions to prevent decomposition. We employ advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis (CHN) to verify identity, purity, and catalytic integrity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or production standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents. This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air or light will degrade its catalytic performance.
