Swa. Bligh et al., 1ST STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION OF AN AMINO PHOSPHONATE MONOESTER METAL-COMPLEX, Journal of the Chemical Society. Dalton transactions, (22), 1994, pp. 3333-3334
A new type of tetradentate amino phosphonate monoester has been synthe
sized by alkaline hydrolysis of the parent phosphonate diester; the cr
ystal structure of its copper complex reveals a monoester ligand-bridg
ed centrosymmetric dimeric five-co-ordinate copper(II) complex.
