Novel ring opening and halogen transfer from platinum(II) to phosphorus in the reaction of [PtCl2(CNR)2](R = But,p-MeOC6H4) with the phosphirene ring PPhCPhCPh. Crystal and molecular structure of the dimeric chlorophosphane complex [PtCl(PClPhCPhCPh)(CNBut)]2
Abstract
A new type of ligating behaviour of the phosphirene ring system [graphic omitted]Ph is described, in which novel dimeric platinum(II) Chlorophosphane complexes result from phosphirene ring opening and a Pt–Cl bond-insertion reaction.
