2,4,6,8-Tetrakis(N,N-di-isopropylamino)cyclotetraphosphoxane (Pri2NPO)4, a tetradentate ligand that chelates two metals: assemblage of a P4O4Mo2 cage structure
Abstract
Reaction of (Pri2N)2P(O)H with Mo(CO)6 resulted in deamination and formation of complex (1) which was characterized by X-ray analysis as [Pri2NPO]4Mo2(CO)8, a closo-P4O4Mo2 cage structure featuring a novel tetradentate phosphoxane ligand.
