A new type of polycyclophosphidochromium cluster, [(Cp)Cr(CO)2]5P10(Cp =η5-C5H5). First observation of polycylic P-to-M coordination
Abstract
The co-thermolysis of [(Cp)Cr(CO)3]2(Cp =η5-C5H5) with P4 forms [(Cp)Cr(CO)2]5P10, a new paramagnetic structure with a P10 core, which represents the first example of polycyclic phosphorus-to-metal coordination.
