Quality Control

Every batch of our 1,1Bis((2S,5S)-2,5-Di-I-Propylphospholano)Ferrocene(Cyclooctadiene)Rhodium(I) Tetrafluoroborate is synthesized and handled under strict inert atmosphere conditions to preserve catalytic activity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis to verify identity, chiral purity, and chemical purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results are provided to ensure traceability and compliance with your research or cGMP 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 dry, cold environment. This compound is moisture-sensitive (hygroscopic) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, moisture, or ambient temperature will degrade performance.
