P. Zanello, STRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF THE REDOX FLEXIBILITY OF GROUP-VIII METAL-COMPLEXES WITH TRIPODAL POLYPHOSPHINE LIGANDS, Pure and applied chemistry, 67(2), 1995, pp. 323-330
Complexes of transition metal fragments with tripodal polyphosphine li
gands (NP3, PP3, triphos) usually display reversible electron-transfer
processes. Sometimes, such derivatives undergo electron addition/remo
val steps which cause more or less complicated molecular reorganizatio
ns. A few examples of these redox-induced rearrangements are here illu
strated.
