Abstract
This data article contains the (1)H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), ultraviolet and visible (UV-vis) and Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier Transformed Infra-red (ATR FTIR) characterization of a series of organophosphorus-containing rhodium(I) complexes. The electrochemical data acquired by means of cyclic voltammetry of the three organophosphorus-containing ligands (with the structure C(6)H(5)XPPh(2), where X = O, S and NH) and their acetylacetonato (monocarbonyl) organophosphorus rhodium(I) compounds, [Rh(acac)CO(C(6)H(5)XPPh(2))] are reported. Additionally, the kinetic data of the oxidative addition of methyl iodide to the rhodium(I) complexes, are also presented.
