Yj. Lee et al., Kinetically stabilized P,Si-chelate metal complexes: Isolation, isomerization, and X-ray structural analysis, ORGANOMETAL, 19(26), 2000, pp. 5546-5548
A series of kinetically stabilized trans bischelate metal complexes, trans-
(Cab(P,Si))(2)M (M = Pt 4; M = Pd 7a), bearing bulky o-carboranylphosphine
tethers, have been, synthesized from the reaction of the phosphinosilanes 2
with d(10) metal complexes. In the presence of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxy
late (DMAD), the trans isomer 4 thermally rearranges to the thermodynamical
ly favored cis isomer, cis-(Cab(P,Si))(2)Pt 5.
