F. Boutonnet et al., SYNTHESIS OF MONCATIONIC AND DICATIONIC PHOSPHORUS ZIRCONIUM SPECIES, Journal of the Chemical Society, Chemical Communications, (24), 1993, pp. 1866-1867
Synthesis and characterisation of zirconium containing phosphonium sal
ts are reported, including the X-ray molecular structure determination
of 2P(Me)(CH2)2C(=NBut)Zr(eta-C5H5)2OSO2CF3][OSO2CF3] 5a; lability of
the zirconium-oxygen covalent bond in 5a allows the preparation of th
e phosphorus-zirconium dicationic species 6a 2)N)2P(Me)(CH2)2C(=NBut)Z
r(eta-C5H5)][(OSO2CF3)]2.
