Rhodium(III) perchlorate refers to the inorganic compound with the formula Rh(H2O)6(ClO4)3. It is a hygroscopic yellow solid. It is the perchlorate salt of the tricationic aquo complex [Rh(H2O)6]3+. The compound is prepared by treating hydrated rhodium(III) chloride and perchloric acid at elevated temperatures:[1]
- [Rh(H2O)6]Cl3 + 3 HClO4 → [Rh(H2O)6](ClO4)3 + 3 HCl
The reaction of rhodium(III) hydroxide with concentrated perchloric acid also produce rhodium(III) perchlorate.[2]
- Rh(OH)3 + 3 HClO4 → Rh(ClO4)3 + 3 H2O
