Synthesis and structure of the extended phosphazane ligand [(1,4-C6H4){N(μ-PNtBu)2NtBu}2]4−†
Abstract
The reaction of the phenylene-bridged precursor (1,4-C6H4)[N(PCl2)2]2 with tBuNH2 in the presence of Et3N gives the new ligand precursor (1,4-C6H4)[N(μ-NtBu)2(PNHtBu)2]2, deprotonation of which with Bu2Mg gives the novel tetraanion [(1,4-C6H4){N(μ-NtBu)2(PNtBu)2}2]4−.
