B. Wang et K. Lammertsma, HAMMETT REACTION CONSTANT FOR A TERMINAL METHOXYPHOSPHINIDENE COMPLEX- ABSENCE OF AMBIPHILICITY, Journal of the American Chemical Society, 116(23), 1994, pp. 10486-10488
The Hammett reaction constant rho(+) has been determined for the styre
ne addition of MeO-P-W(CO)(5), as generated from the appropriate 7-pho
sphanorbornadiene complex. The phosphinidene reactivity is evaluated a
nd compared with that of the ambiphilic MeO-C-Cl carbene.
