Novel zwitterionic complexes arising from the coordination of an ambiphilic phosphorus–aluminum ligand to gold†
Abstract
Coordination of Mes2PC(
CHPh)AltBu2 to metal chlorides has been studied. Bridging P→M–Cl→Al coordinations were observed with Rh and Pd fragments, while chloride abstraction systematically occurred with gold. The resulting zwitterionic complexes have been fully characterized and analyzed by DFT calculations.
