Abstract

The reaction of LiBu n with [(mes) 2 P (H) O] affords the diorganophosphinate complex [(mes) 2 P (O) 2 Li· 2thf] 1 and [(mes) 2 PLi], however, addition of [Cd {N (SiMe 3) 2} 2] to the mixture gives the diorganophosphinite complex [{Me 3-Si) 2 N} Cd {(mes) 2 PO} 2 Li· 2thf] 2; the formation of these complexes illustrates that the ligand functionality of 1 can be controlled by the character of the coordinated metal ion.
