Abstract
The reaction between zinc or cadmium dichloride and the triphospholyl anion (P3C2B2-)-B-t, in each case leads to highly insoluble orange compounds, th e structures of which are believed to be polymeric. subsequent treatment wi th pyridine leads to the monomeric complexes [M(eta (1)-(P3C2Bu2)-Bu-t)(2)( NC5H5)(n)] (M = Zn, n = 2; M = Cd, n = 3). Both complexes, which are fluxio nal in solution even at low temperature, have been fully characterised by m ultinuclear NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies.
