First eta(1)-ligated 2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene complexes and the remarkable trihydration reaction of trans-[PtCl2(PMe3)(P3C3Bu3t)]to cis-[PtCl(PMe3)(P3O3C3H5Bu3t)], containing the novel CH(Bu-t)PH(O)C(Bu-t)PH(O)CH(Bu-t)P(O) ring system
Sb. Clendenning et al., First eta(1)-ligated 2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene complexes and the remarkable trihydration reaction of trans-[PtCl2(PMe3)(P3C3Bu3t)]to cis-[PtCl(PMe3)(P3O3C3H5Bu3t)], containing the novel CH(Bu-t)PH(O)C(Bu-t)PH(O)CH(Bu-t)P(O) ring system, CHEM COMMUN, (15), 1999, pp. 1377-1378
The first examples of eta(1)-complexes of 2,4,6-tri-tert-butyl-1,3,5-tripho
sphabenzene are described, namely trans-[PtCl2(PR3)(P3C3Bu3t)] (PR3 = PMe3,
PEt3, PMe2Ph or PMePh2) and their structures established by P-31 and Pt-19
5 NMR spectroscopy. The unusual molecular structure of cis-[PtCl(PMe3)(P3O3
C3H5Bu3t)], containing the novel CH-(Bu-t)PH(O)C(Bu-t)PH(O)CH(Bu-t)P(O) rin
g system, which is formed by the trihydration of trans-[PtCl2(PMe3)(P-3-C3B
u3t)] is also reported.
