Formation and crystal structure of [ClPtNMe2NHCH2CHPPh2CH2CH2PPh2]Cl containing a novel tridentate ylide ligand formed by intramolecular phosphinovinylation
Abstract
Treatment of cis-[PtCl2(PPh2CHCH2)2] with Me2NNH2 gives the title compound, formed by successive conjugate additions to the vinyl groups, including attack by one P-atom on a vinyl group of an adjacent co-ordinated PPh2CH
CH2 ligand: some reactions of the title compound are described.
