A. Winkler et al., Chemistry of polyfunctional molecules - CXXXI. Crystal structure and preparation of [bis(diphenyl-methyl-phosphino)iminium] tetraphenyloborate, [(C6H5)(2)(CH3)P=N=P(CH3)(C6H5)(2)](+)[B(C6H5)(4)](-), INORG CHIM, 284(2), 1999, pp. 288-291
The suspension of LiN(PPh2)(2) (1) in CH2Cl2 that is acting in the case und
er discussion not only as a solvent but also as an alkylating agent, result
s in the formation of [Ph2MeP=N=PMePh2]Cl (2). The metathesis of 2 with NaB
Ph4 in acetone yields the title compound [Ph2MeP=N=PMePh2]BPh4 (3). The cry
stal structure of 3 has been determined by X-ray crystal analysis. (C) 1999
