The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Treatment of CH2(PPh2)2 with n-BuLi/t-BuOK in diethyl ether affords the potassium diphosphinomethanide complex [K{CH(PPh2)2}(OEt2)0.5] (1) in high yield. Metathesis of two equivalents of 1 with LaI3(THF)4 yields the heteroleptic bis-diphosphinomethanide complex [La{CH(PPh2)2}2(I)(THF)2] (2). X-ray crystallography shows the diphosphinomethanide ligands in 2 adopt different coordination modes in the solid state; one adopts a κ2-PP mode with no La-C contact, and the other adopts an η3-PCP mode, thus giving an eight-coordinate lanthanum centre. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
