TLDR: In this article, a series of phosphorus(III) compounds was found to have an intramolecular donor-acceptor interaction between NMe2 substituents and phosphorus.

Abstract: The reaction of MeOCH2CH2N(Me)SiMe3, Me2NCH2CH2OSiMe3, and Me2NCH2CH2N(Me)SiMe3 with PCl3. PhPCl2, and Ph2PCl was found to proceed with cleavage of the N[sbnd]Si or O[sbnd]Si bond and formation of the phosphorus(III) compounds, 3 to 8. In this series of, in part, novel phosphorus(III) compounds an intramolecular donor-acceptor interaction between NMe2 substituents and phosphorus has been observed which in the case of the product of the reaction of Me2NCH2CH2N(Me)SiMe3 with PCl3, led to a stable intramolecular complex, , 3a. The reversible formation of an intramolecular complex, as a function of temperature, has been observed for Me2NCH2CH2N(Me)P(Ph)Cl,4 while no evidence for an intramolecular interaction was noted for compounds 5, 6 and 8. For compound 7 which is obtained as a solid an intramolecular interaction between phosphorus and nitrogen seems likely in the solid state but cannot be observed by n.m.r. spectroscopy in solution in CDCl3. A single crystal X-ray structure determination for 3a h...
