Answer~~ Wilkinson's catalyst has the formula RhCl(PPh3)3. The IUPAC name (the scientific name that also describes its structure) is chlorotris(triphenylphosphone)rhodium(I). This name tells us that the rhodium is in an oxidation state of +1. The cool thing about Wilkinson's catalyst is its ability to selectively reduce alkenes, or double bonds. The selectiveness makes is useful when we need to reduce a specific double bond in a molecule. Regards. ??
