A bidentate boryl ligand: syntheses of platinum and iridium complexes†
Abstract
A methylenediphenylphosphine substituted diazaborole was obtained in a two-step procedure in amounts around 4 g. This B–P ligand was coordinated at platinum and iridium and the structures of the boryl complexes are discussed. In the case of the iridium derivative an interesting boron–boron contact was found.
