Novel transition metal phospha-alkyne complexes: tBuCP acting as a 6 electron donor ligand. Synthesis, crystal and molecular structure of [Co2(CO)6(μ-tBuCP)W(CO)5]

TL;DR: In this paper, a single crystal X-ray diffraction study of [Co 2 (CO) 6 (μ- t BuCP)W(CO) 5 ] was performed and it was shown that phospha-alkyne behaves as a 6e donor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoelectron spectroscopy and electronic structure of the hexaphosphatitanocene [Ti(η5-P3C2But2)2]

TL;DR: In this article, the He I photoelectron spectrum of [Ti(η5-P3C2But2)2] was assigned and a detailed orbital analysis was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Photoelectron spectra of the phospha-alkynes: 3,3-dimethyl-1-phosphabutyne ButCP and phenylphosphaethyne, PhCP

TL;DR: In this article, photoelectron spectra of the phospha-alkynes ButCP and PhCP were obtained by comparison with spectra from related species and with the aid of ab initio SCF molecular orbital calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A study of the molecular and electronic structures of the indium(I) phospholyls [In(η5-P2C3But3)] and [In(η5-P3C2But2)] by X-ray diffraction, photoelectron spectroscopy and density functional theory

TL;DR: In this article, the crystal and molecular structures of [In(η5-P2C3But3)] were reported by comparison with related systems and with the aid of density functional calculations of the ionisation energies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reactions of zero- and di-valent platinum metal complexes with phosphirene ring systems. Crystal structures of cis-[PtCl2(PEt3)(PPhCPhCPh)], cis-[Ptl(PPh3)(CPhCPhPPhMe)] and [(Et3P)2Pt(CPhCPhPPh)W(CO)5]

TL;DR: The phosphirene ring system undergoes unidentate ligation and/or insertion reactions with a variety of platinum metal complexes as discussed by the authors, and insertion reactions also occur with the [W(CO)5] adduct of 1 Detailed NMR and single-crystal X-ray studies on [PtCl2(PEt3)([graphic omitted]Ph)] and [Et3P] confirm the nature of both types of complexes.
