M. Driess et al., [R-PLI2(F-R)](2) [R=SIPR2I(C6H2PR3I-2,4,6)] THE FIRST STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF A DILITHIUM PHOSPHANDIIDE IN THE FORM OF A FLUOROSILANE COMPLEX, Chemical communications, (3), 1996, pp. 305-306
The preparation and spectroscopic characterization of the hexane-solub
le, dimeric dilithium iisopropyl-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)phosphandii
de 1 and ab initio calculations of the corresponding parent compound 3
are reported; 1 reacts with diisopropyl(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)-flu
orosilane to form the unusual complex 2, whose structure has been esta
blished by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
