Abstract

Abstract It has been shown that 2 equiv. of 2, 3, 5, 6-tetraphenylphosphinine (2) react with [Rh (COD) 2][BF 4] to yield the bis (η 1-phosphinine) Rh I complex 6, whose X-ray crystal structure is presented. On the other hand, 2, 6-bis (trimethylsilyl) phosphinines 4 and 5 react with Rh+ and Ir+ precursors to yield the first (η 6-phosphinine) Rh I and-Ir I complexes 7− 10, and 11− 12, respectively. The X-ray crystal structure of complex 8 is presented. Reaction ...
