Some reactions of a co-ordinated phosphido-group
Abstract
The reaction of π-C5H5Fe(CO)2P(CF3)2 with nitric oxide gives π-C5H5Fe(CO)2P(O)(CF3)2, while with sulphur, π-C5H5Fe(CO)2P(S)(CF3)2 is formed; on irradiation, π-C5H5Fe(CO)2P(CF3)2 dimerises to give the expected phosphido-bridged complex, whereas the oxide and sulphide produce (C5H5)2Fe3(CO)2[OP(CF3)2]4 and π-C5H5Fe(CO)2SP(S)(CF3)2, respectively.
