Group 11 complexes with a phosphanylphosphaalkene ligand: preparation and stability study†
Abstract
The reactivities of two selected phosphanylphosphaalkenes, Ph2CP-PtBu2 (1a) and (p-MeO-Ph)2CP-PtBu2 (1b), toward CuCl, AgCl and (tht)AuCl (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) were investigated. As a result, new phosphanylphosphaalkene dimeric and monomeric complexes were formed (Cu and Ag dimeric and Au monomeric). All obtained products were air and moisture stable and light insensitive.
