Synthesis and X-ray structure of [(THF)K(C5H4CH2CH2PPh2)]∞: a structurally characterized heavier alkali metal phosphane complex
Abstract
Reaction of spiro[2.4]hepta-4,6-diene with KPPh2 in THF gives K(C5H4CH2CH2PPh2) 1, which crystallizes from THF and shows coordination of a neutral phosphane functionality to potassium.
