Dirhodium Tetra(dimethylphosphinate): Rhodium(II) carboxylates are the catalysts of choice for metal-stabilized carbene reactions. Recent work in the Capretta lab has allowed for the replacement of the carboxylate ligands with isoelectronic phosphinates. Pictured is a dirhodium catalyst containing four dimethylphosphinic acid ligands.
