Complexes of gold, silver and copper with the azine diphosphine
Z,Z-PPh2CH2CBut
N–N
C(But)CH2PPh2
have been prepared and shown to contain the diphosphine in an unusual
nine-membered chelate ring; the crystal structure of the chlorogold
derivative
[AuCl{Z,Z-PPh2CH2CBut
N–N
C(But)CH2PPh2
}] was determined.
