4,6-Bis(supermesitylphosphanylidenemethyl)dibenzofuran. Synthesis, X-ray structure and reactivity towards group 11 metals

Abstract

New kinetically stabilized mono- and bis-phosphaalkene ligands (2 and 3, respectively) were synthesized via the phospha-Wittig approach. Ligand 3 was characterized by X-ray diffraction. The coordinating behaviour of the bidentate ligand was investigated towards group 11 metal centers in order to test its capacity to bind two coordination sites located in a trans-fashion. The [Au(3)][BF4], [Ag(3)(H2O)][BF4] and [Cu(3)(CH3CN)][BF4] complexes 4, 5 and 6, respectively, were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The peculiar geometries of 4 and 6 were rationalized by means of DFT calculations.
