    Abstract

    Dirhodium(II) catalysts have been widely used as a remarkable tool in organic synthesis, ultimately resulting in a myriad of transformations and formation of a wide variety of compounds, every so often intermediaries in drug synthesis. Aiming at a more sustainable chemistry, several methods suitable for the reutilisation of expensive dirhodium complexes have been developed. Herein, we provide a combined overview of the available methods for recovering and reusing dirhodium(II) metal complexes in catalysis, covering homogeneous catalysis as well as heterogenisation methods.
