L. Dahlenburg et al., ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS OF IRIDIUM AND RHODIUM .32. (TRIMETHYLSILYL)DIAZOMETHYL DERIVATIVES OF [(T)BUP(CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)PPH(2))(2)]MCL (M=RH, IR), Journal of organometallic chemistry, 463(1-2), 1993, pp. 30000008-30000010
Treatment of [(t)BuP(CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)]MCl (M = Rh, 1, or Ir,
2) with LiC(N-2)SiMe(3) in toluene at -78 degrees C gave the alpha-dia
zoalkyl complexes [(t)BuP(CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)]RhC(N-2)SiMe(3), 3
, and [(t)BuP(CH(2)CH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)]IrC(N-2)SiMe(3), 4, as air- an
d light-sensitive but thermally stable compounds, which were character
ized by IR, H-1 NMR and P-31 NMR spectroscopy. The results of an X-ray
structural study of complex 2 are also reported.
