Reactivity of electrophilic μ-phosphinidene complexes with heterocumulenes: formation of the first σ-π-aminophosphaimine complexes [Mn2(CO)8{μ-η1,η2-P(NiPr2)NR}] and diazoalkane insertions into metal–phosphorus bonds†
Abstract
The bridging phosphinidene complexes [Mn2(CO)8(μ-PNiPr2)] and [Co2(CO)4(μ-dppm)(
μ-PNR2)]
(NR2
= NiPr2, TMP) react with heterocumulenes RN3, CH2N2 and Ph2CNN to form complexes with μ-η1,η2-aminophosphaimine, μ-η1,η2-aminophosphaalkene and μ-η1,η2-aminophosphadiphenylmethylazaimine
