Journal ArticleDOI

Syntheses of the novel cage compounds P3Se3C3But3 and P3Se4C3But3 and an unusual insertion reaction of [PtCl2(PMe3)] into the Se–Se bond of the latter to give the six-coordinate Pt(IV) complex [PtCl2(PMe3)P3Se4C3But3]

TL;DR: The cage compounds P3Se3C3But3 and But3 are derived from the reaction of the phosphaalkyne ButCP with selenium; the 1,2,4-selenadiphosphole fragment undergoes an unusual insertion and reaction into the Se-Se bond of But3.
Journal ArticleDOI

η3- and η5-ligating modes of 1,3-diphosphacyclopentadienyl rings in structurally related molybdenum complexes. Crystal and molecular structure of [Mo(η5-C5Me5)(η3-P2C3But3)(CO)2] and [Mo(η3-C9H7)(η5-P2C3But3)(CO)2](C9H7= indenyl)

TL;DR: The modes of ligation of the two five-membered rings in [Mo(η5-C5Me5)(η3-P2C3But3)(CO)2] and [Mo[η 3-C9H7] showed interesting differences.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in the interaction of 1,2,3-triphenylphosphirene with platinum(II) and platinum(0) complexes. Crystal and molecular structures of cis-[PtCl2(PPhCPhcph)(PEt3)] and cis-[PtI(PPhMeCPhCPh)(PPh3)]

TL;DR: 1,2,3-Triphenylphosphirene undergoes only η1-coordination with PtII complexes whereas with Pt0 centres insertion also occurs to yield phosphaplatinacyclobutene products as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differences in the η1-ligating properties of 2,4,6-tritertiarybutyl-phosphabenzene, PC5H2Bu3t and 2,4,6-tritertiarybutyl-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene, P3C3Bu3t

TL;DR: In this article, NMR spectroscopic evidence is presented for partial isomerisation in solution of 2,4,6,tritertiary butyl-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene complexes trans-[PtCl2(PR3)(η1- P 3 C 3 Bu 3 t )], (PR3 ǫ = PMe3 and PMe2Ph), to the corresponding cis-isomers.
