use

Rhodium (II) acetate is used as a catalyst in organic chemistry . It forms with diazo that an adjacent carbonyl possess carbenes . Cyclopropanes , among other things, can be prepared from the carbenes . Rhodium carbenes can also be used for the production of ylides and for insertion reactions . It is also used in the functionalization of fullerenes into polymers and is an efficient catalyst for hydrogen transfer from 2-propanol to cyclohexanone and other unsaturated compounds.
