A vibrational spectroscopic study of tris triphenyl phosphine rhodium (I) chloride

Abstract In this work we report the first Raman spectrum of tris triphenyl phosphine rhodium (I) chloride. The vibrational spectrum of triphenyl phosphine has also been recorded under similar conditions to facilitate comparisons. FT-Raman spectra and diffuse reflectance mid-IR and far-IR spectra are presented and a full skeletal vibrational assignment is made.
