Synthesis and coordination chemistry of meta-perfluoroalkyl-derivatised triarylphosphines
摘要:
The synthesis and coordination chemistry of the PPhx(C6H4-3-C6F13)(3-x) (x=0, 1, 2) ligands containing perfluoroalkyl ponytails have been investigated. A comparison of the spectroscopic data for coordination complexes containing these ligands with those for complexes containing PPh3 or the related para-derivatised triarylphosphines indicates that these meta-derivatised ligands are slightly poorer sigma-donors and that steric crowding in the [PtCl2L2] complexes results in the formation of the normally thermodynamically less-favourable trans-isomers.
