Abstract

A combination of one-dimensional, two-dimensional and nuclear Overhauser experiments allow complete NMR spectroscopic characterisation of the trifunctionalised triphenylphosphine, tris-(2-carboxaldehyde) triphenylphosphine 1. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction study reveals the expected canted C3-conformation of the phenyl rings with each of the carboxaldehyde groups occupying sterically more favoured exo positions. Two of ...
