Rhodium(IV) oxide (or rhodium dioxide) is the chemical compound with the formula RhO2.

Chemical properties

RhO2 is highly insoluble even in hot aqua regia.[1]

Structure

RhO2 has the tetragonal rutile structure.[2]

Physical properties

RhO2 has metallic resistivity with values <10−4 Ohm·cm. It transforms in air to Rh2O3 at 850 °C and then to metal and oxygen at 1050 °C.[2]
