Suppose mass of rod be M, and at a certain time, it makes angle θ with the vertical.
The only force acting on the rod is its own weight, which provides a torque about point O,
τ=Mg

L
​ 
 sinθ
Moment of inertia of rod about I is:
C
​ 
 = 
3
ML

​ 
 
During rotation, we have:-
τ=Iα, and for point O:
Mg 
2
L
​ 
 sinθ= 
3
ML

​ 
 α
⇒α= 
2L
3gsinθ
​ 
 
Hence centre of mass has an acceleration:
CM
​ 
 =Rα, where R= 
2
L
​ 
  gives a 
CM
​ 
 =

​ 
 gsinθ.
