M. Yoshifuji et al., PREPARATION AND X-RAY-ANALYSIS OF NOVEL CARBONYLTUNGSTEN(0) COMPLEXESOF DIPHOSPHINIDENECYCLOBUTENES, Chemical communications, (1), 1998, pp. 27-28
A sterically protected diphosphinidenecyclobutene 5 bearing a bulky 2,
4,6-triisopropylphenyl group is prepared and allowed to react with W(C
O)(5)(thf) to give a doubly tungsten-coordinated complex 8, with chela
te-and pi-type coordination; the structure of the complex is confirmed
by X-ray analysis.
