摘要:
AbstractAn equimolar reaction mixture of Ph2PCl and GaCl3 at room temperature results in the formation of a melt M consisting of the donor–acceptor complex Ph2PCl→GaCl3 (1a), the chloro(diphenylphosphanyl)diphenylphosphonium cation (2a), and the counteranions [GanCl3n+1]– (n = 1, 2, 3). The melt has been characterized by Raman and NMR spectroscopy and is compared with the reaction mixture of Ph2PCl and GaCl3 observed in solution (CH2Cl2). The melt provides a facile and reactive source of the diphenylphosphenium cation, as demonstrated with use for P–P bond insertion into (PhP)5, to give the 2,3,4,5‐tetraphosphanyl‐1,4‐diphosphonium dication (3), and reductive coupling with gallium metal to give the diadduct Cl3GaPPh2PPh2GaCl3 (5).(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
