Preparation and Reactivity of a Triphosphenium Bromide Salt: A Convenient and Stable Source of Phosphorus(I)
Published on: November 22, 2016
Tris[2-(deuteriomethyl-sulfan-yl)-phen-yl]-phosphine deuteriochloro-form 0.125-solvate
Abstract:
The title deuterated tripodal phosphine, C(21)H(12)D(9)PS(3)·0.125CDCl(3), crystallizes as two independent mol-ecules, one of which lies on a general position and the other about a threefold rotation axis, and as a deuteriochloro-form solvate. The solvent mol-ecule is disordered about a site of symmetry 3, so that the ratio of phosphine to solvent is 8:1. The P atom adopts a pyramidal coordination geometry.
