Abstract:
Through-conjugation of two phosphaalkyne moieties within an isolable molecule is demonstrated for the first time with the synthesis of [{Ru(dppe)2}2{μ-(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)2C6H4-p}(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]P)2], via base-induced desilylation of [{Ru(dppe)2}2{μ-(C[triple bond, length as m-dash]C)2C6H4-p}(η1-P[triple bond, length as m-dash]CSiMe3)2]2+. The nature of the cyaphide ligands and their influence upon the bimetallic core are studied electrochemically.
