P. Bhattacharyya et al., PHOSPHORUS(III) LIGANDS WITH FLUOROUS PONYTAILS, Journal of the Chemical Society. Perkin transactions. I, (24), 1997, pp. 3609-3612
A series of phosphorus(III) compounds incorporating one or more C6F13
'ponytails' have been prepared as a pool of ligands for coordination a
nd catalytic studies under the fluorous biphase regime, Solubility stu
dies indicate that only ligands with three or more ponytails are prefe
rentially soluble in perfluorocarbon solvents.
