Wilkinson catalyst is:
A$$[(Ph_3P)_3 RhCl]$$ $$(Et = C_2H_5)$$
Correct Answer
B$$[Et_3P)_3IrCl]$$
C$$[Et_3P)_3RhCl]$$
D$$[Ph_3P)_3IeCl]$$
Solution
Wilkinson's catalyst is the common name for chloridotris(triphenylphosphine)rhodium(I), a coordination complex of rhodium with the formula [RhCl(PPh$$_3$$)$$_3$$] (Ph = phenyl). It is a red-brown colored solid that is soluble in hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene, and more so in tetrahydrofuran or chlorinated solvents such as dichloromethane. The compound is widely used as a catalyst for hydrogenation of alkenes. It is named after chemist and Nobel laureate Sir Geoffrey Wilkinson, who first popularized its use. Hence, the correct option is $$\text{A}$$
