Dicoordinated phosphorus compounds: a novel 4,5-disubstituted 1,2,4,3-triazaphosphole. X-Ray molecular strucutures of a 2-N-BF3 complex of 4,5-diisopropyl-1,2,4,3-triazaphosphole and of its tetramer. Conformation in the crystalline form and in solution

Abstract

The synthesis of the title compound is described. It may be stabilised by the reaction of its tetramer with BF₃. The tetramer displays several isomers and conformers in solution; one of them has been isolated and its crystal structure determined. The crystal structure of the 2-N-BF₃ complex of the parent 4,5-diisopropyl-1,2,4,3-triazaphosphole has also been obtained.
