Platinum catalysis cycloaddition

Rhodium is a rare white-silvery metal classified as a member of the platinum group metals. As a result, rhodium is commonly used as a catalyst in chemical reactions. It is also used in several chemical feedstock processes, including hydroformylation. Furthermore, rhodium has been used to catalyze more complex processes, such as higher order cycloaddition reactions. In addition, rhodium has been used in simpler reaction types such as hydrogenation and cycloisomerization. The fact that rhodium is effective for a wide range of chemical processes makes it an attractive metal for catalysis.
