From unsymmetrical diphosphene to new 1,3-diphosphapropenes
Abstract
The (Z) 1,3-diphosphapropenes (3) obtained from dihalogenocarbenes and unsymmetrical diphosphene (1), via diphosphiranes (2), show, by X-ray structure analysis of (3a), a special conformation involving a coplanar PC double bond and phosphorus lone pairs.
