In situ synthesis of phenyltrithiophosphonate: isolation and structure of [PPh4]2[W2S4{S2(S)PPh}2]
Abstract
PhP(S)S22– has been prepared directly by the reaction of [PPh4]2[WS4] with PhPCl2; [PPh4]2[W2S4{S2(S)PPh}2] has been isolated and the anion shown to involve a W2S4 core to which are ligated two bidentate PhP(S)S2 moieties.
