Phosphide coupling in the reaction of Sn(NMe2)(2) with MesPHLi; synthesis and structure of the Sn(II) phosphide dianion [{Sn(mu-PMes)}(2)(MesP)(2)](2-) (Mes=2,4,6-Me3C6H2)
Ad. Bond et al., Phosphide coupling in the reaction of Sn(NMe2)(2) with MesPHLi; synthesis and structure of the Sn(II) phosphide dianion [{Sn(mu-PMes)}(2)(MesP)(2)](2-) (Mes=2,4,6-Me3C6H2), CHEM COMMUN, (6), 2001, pp. 525-526
In contrast to the reactions of other primary phosphides with Sn(NMe2)(2),
the reaction of MesPHLi with Sn(NMe2)(2) results in partial coupling of Mes
P groups in the product (which contains the novel Sn(ii) dianion [{(Sn(mu -
PMes)}(2)-(MesP)(2)](2-)).
