Journal ArticleDOI
Use of coordinated phosphaalkyne ligands in transition metal cluster interlinkage. Synthesis of dimolybdenum-triruthenium and dimolybdenum-triosmium complexes [Mo2M3(η5-C5H5)2(CO)15(tBuCP)], (M = Ru, Os) and crystal and molecular structure of di-η5-cyclopentadienyltetracarbonyl-μ-(3,3-dimethyl-1-phosphabutyne)-triangulo-triosmium(O), [Mo2(η5-C5H5)2(CO)4(μ-tBuCP)Os3(CO)11]
TL;DR: The phosphaalkyne ligand in [Mo 2 (η-C 5 H 5 ) 2 (CO 4 ( t BuCP)] can be used in transition metal cluster interlinkage as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
First example of a phosphino-phosphinidene complex. Crystal and molecular structure of the novel triruthenium carbonyl cluster complex [Ru3(CO)9(P5C5But5)] containing a phosphino-phosphinidene, acting as a six-electron donor
TL;DR: The pentaphospha-phosphinidene triruthenium nonacarbonyl cluster [Ru3(CO)9(P5C5But5)], whose structure, elucidated by a single crystal X-ray crystallographic study, is related to that of the P5C 5But5 cage as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
1-(2,4,6-Tri-tertiarybutylphenyl)-3,5-di-tert-butyl-1,2,4-triphosphole: a possibly stable, fully aromatic, compound with planar tricoordinate phosphorus
László Nyulászi,John F. Nixon +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a planar triphospholem was found to be planar according to ab initio geometry optimisation at the HF/3-21G(*) level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of Phospha-Alkynes RC[dbnd]P in Organometallic Chemistry
TL;DR: In this article, a variety of ligating modes are exhibited by RC[dbnd]P towards transition metal centers but, interestingly, the preferred bonding interaction is with the P[DBnd]C triple bond, rather than via the phosphorus lone-pair electrons, and it is shown that n 1-phospha-alkyne complexes of Mo(0) and Fe(II) can be synthesised in certain compounds, in which linear molecules can approach the metal center by virtue of the constraints imposed by the attendant diphosphane ligands.
