Abstract
The phosphirene ring system PhPCPh=CPh 1 undergoes unidentate ligation and/or insertion reactions with a variety of platinum metal complexes. Insertion reactions also occur with the [W(CO)5] adduct of 1. Detailed NMR and single-crystal X-ray studies on [PtCl2(PEt3)(PPhCPh=CPh)] and [(Et3P)2Pt(CPh=CPhPPh)W(CO)5] confirm the nature of both types of complexes. The compounds [{PtCl2(PEt 3)}2] and Mel react with [Pt(PPh3) 2(CPh=CPhPPh)] to give [(Ph3P)2Pt(CPh=CPhPPh) PtCl2(PEt3)] and [Ptl(PPh3)(CPh=CPhPPhMe)], respectively, the latter being characterised by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.
