    Hydrated rhodium trichloride is reduced by carbon monoxide, ethylene, and trifluorophosphine to give rhodium(I) complexes Rh 2 Cl 2 L 4 (L = CO, C 2 H 4, PF 3). When treated with triphenylphosphine , hydrated rhodium trichloride converts to the maroon-colored RhCl(P(C 6 H 5 ) 3 ) 3 , which is known as Wilkinson's catalyst .
