Observation of a P/M interconversion of a gold-phosphine helicate via 31P NMR
1Institut für Allgemeine, Anorganische und Theoretische Chemie, Universität Innsbruck, Innrain 52a, A-6020 Innsbruck, Austria.
Abstract:
Ligands containing P-CH2-CH2-P elements have been shown to form double-stranded helicates whose axis consists of gold atoms with Au...Au contacts; the interconversion of the P and M forms of the helicate [Au3(mu-pp2)2](OTf)3 (pp2 = PhP(CH2CH2PPh2)2) is monitored via 31P NMR.
