Isolation of a new mixed valence Pt molecular oxide using phosphine as protecting group
1Department of Chemistry, Kwansei Gakuin University, 2-1 Gakuen, Sanda 669-1337, Japan.
Abstract:
A novel tetranuclear mixed valence cationic Pt molecular oxide [((Me3P)2Pt)3Pt(OH)6]4+ is obtained by reacting H2Pt(OH)6 and (Me3P)2Pt2+, whose NMR spectra suggest the existence of another species in solution that may serve as a starting point for further synthesis of Pt molecular oxides.

It defines a protecting group as the masking agent to make the more reactive species inert to a given set of conditions. This concept is depicted via the illustration of liquid flow through different outlets in an assembly of pipes. The analogy helps to understand the role...

Aldehydes and Ketones to Alkenes: Wittig Reaction Mechanism
The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...
