The organophosphonate-substituted alkoxides [(Bu4N)-N-n](2)[{Ti(OMe)(3
)(O3PPh)}(2)] (1) and [(Bu4N)-N-n](2)[{Nb(OMe)(3)(O3PPh)}(2)(mu-O)] (2
) have been prepared from [(Bu4N)-N-n][PhPO3H] and the metal alkoxides
Ti(OMe)(4) or Nb(OMe)(5) respectively. In 1, the bridging phenylphosp
honates occupy trans coordination sites, whereas in 2, a cis-bridging
geometry is adopted. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
