s(2,4,6-tri-t-butylphenyl)-1,4-diphosphabutatriene was obtained by the
copper-mediated coupling reaction of 1-halo-2-phosphaethenyllithiums.
The 1,4-diphosphabutatriene formed mono- and bis-pentacarbonyltungste
n complexes, and the X-ray analysis of the bis-tungsten complex reveal
ed end-on type coordination with the trans configuration. (C) 1998 Els
