Reactions of osmium coordinated formaldehyde. Synthesis of complexes of selenoformaldehyde and telluroformaldehyde

Os(η²-CH₂O)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ reacts with CSe₂ to form a metallacycle O$\text{s(CH}{}_2\text{OC[Se}$]Se)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂. This compound breaks down to Os(η²-CH₂Se)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ with probable loss of COSe. An alternative route to Os(η²-CH₂Se)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ and also Os(η²-CH₂Te)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ is through reaction of Os(CH₂I)I(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ with SeH^? and TeH^?, respectively. HCl with Os(η²-CH₂E)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ (E = Se or Te) gives OsCl(EMe)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂ while methyl iodide gives [Os(η²-CH₂EMe)(CO)₂ - (PPh₃)₂] I. BH₄^? reacts with these cations to cleave the CE bond and form Os(CH₃)(EMe)(CO)₂(PPh₃)₂.

The reaction of DMA (C₂(CO₂Me)₂) with MoS₄²⁻, WS₄²⁻, and VS₄³⁻ led to six dithiolene compounds. (NEt₄)₂[Mo₂(X)₂(μ-S) ₂(η²-S₂C₂(CO₂Me)₂)₂] 1, (X = O or S), (NEt₄)₂[V(η²-S₂C₂(CO₂Me)₂)₃] 2a, (NEt₄)₂[V(O)(η²-S₂C₂(CO₂Me)₂)₂] 2b, (NEt₄)₂[W₂(S)₂(μ-S)₂(η²-S₂C₂(CO₂Me)₂)₂] 3, (NEt₄)₂[W(O)(η²-S₂C₂(CO₂Me)₂)₂] 4 and (NEt₄)₂[W₂(μ-S)₂(η² -S₂C₂(CO₂Me)₂)₄] 5 were isolated in the solid state. The structures of 2a, 3, 4 and 5 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction study. The compounds 1 and 2b were characterised in solution by ESMS (Electrospray Mass Spectrometry) and in the solid state by IR spectroscopy. ESMS data also allowed proposal of a reaction scheme which rationalizes the formation of the different species present in solution.     

Past,present and future of the clathrate inclusion compounds built of cyanometallate hosts

One-, two- and three-dimensional CN-bridged metal complex structures made up of building blocks such as linear [Ag(CN)₂]^–, square planar [Ni(CN)₄]^2– or tetrahedral [Cd(CN)₄]^2–, and of the complementary ligands such as ammonia, water, unidentate amine, bidentate a,w- diaminoalkane, etc., are reviewed with an emphasis on their behaviour as hosts to afford clathrate inclusion compounds with guest molecules and as self-assemblies to form supramolecular structures with or without guests. The historical background is explained for Prussian blue and Hofmann's benzene clathrate based on their single crystal structure determinations. The strategies the author and coworkers have been applying to develop varieties of clathrate inclusion compounds from the Hofmann-type are demonstrated with the features observed for the developed structures determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods.Abbreviations for Ligands and Guests mma NMeH₂ - dma NMe₂H - tma NMe₃ - mea NH₂(CH₂)₂OH - en NH₂(CH₂)₂NH₂ - pn NH₂CHMeCH₂NH₂ - tn NH₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - dabtn NH₂(CH₂)₄NH₂ - daptn NH₂(CH₂)₅NH₂ - dahxn NH₂(CH₂)₆NH₂ - dahpn NH₂(CH₂)₇NH₂ - daotn NH₂(CH₂)₈NH₂ - danon NH₂(CH₂)₉NH₂ - dadcn NH₂(CH₂)₁₀NH₂ - mtn NMeH(CH₂)₃NH₂ - dmtn NMe₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - detn NEt₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ - temtn NMe₂(CH₂)₃NMe₂ - dien NH₂(CH₂)₂NH(CH₂)₂NH₂ - pXdam p-C₆H₄(NH₂CH₂)₂ - rnXdam m-C₆H₄(NH₂CH₂)₂ - py C₅H₅N pyridine - ampy NH₂C₅H₄N aminopyridine - Clpy CIC₅H₄N chloropyridine - Mepy MeC₅H₄N methylpyridine - dmpy Me₂C₅H₃N dimethylpyridine - bpy NC₅H₄C₅H₄N bipyridine - quin C₇H₉N quinoline - iquin iso-C₇H₉N isoquinoline - qxln C₈H₆N₂ quinoxaline - Pe C₅H₁₁-pentyl imH: C₃N₂H₄ imidazole - pyrz N(CHCH)₂N pyrazine - Mequin MeC₇H₈N methylquinoline - bppn C₁₃H₁₄N₂ 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane - bpb C₁₄H₈N₂ 1,4-bis(4-pyridyl)butadiyne - N-Meim C₃N₂H₃Me N-methylimidazole - 2-MeimH C₃N₂H₃Me 2-methylimidazole - dmf HOCNMe₂ dimethylformamide - hmta C₆H₁₂N₄ hexamethylenetetramine - o-phen C₁₂H₈N₂ 1,10-phenanthroline - den HN(CH₂CH₂)₂NH piperazine - morph HN(CH₂CH₂)₂O morpholine - ten N(CH₂CH₂)₃N 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane - ameden NH₂(CH₂)₂N(CH₂CH₂)₂NH N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine Presented at the Sixth International Seminar on Inclusion Compounds, Istanbul, Turkey, 27–31 August, 1995.     

Heat of formation of Benzophenone Oxide

The heat of formation of benzophenone oxide, Ph₂CO₂, was measured using photoacoustic calorimetry. The enthalpy of the reaction Ph₂CN₂ + O₂ → Ph₂CO₂ + N₂ was found to be ?48.0 ±0.8 kcal mol^?1 and ΔH_f(Ph₂CN₂) was determined by measuring the reaction enthalpy for Ph₂CN₂ + EtOH → Ph₂CHOEt + N₂ (?53.6 ±1.0 kcal mol^?1). Taking ΔH_f(PhCHOEt) = ?10.6 kcal mol^?1 led to ΔH_f(Ph₂CN₂) = 99.2 ± 1.5 kcal mol^?1 and hence to ΔH_f(Ph₂CO₂) = 51.1 ± 2.0 kcal mol^?1. The results imply that the self-reaction of benzophenone oxide i.e., 2Ph₂CO₂ → 2Ph₂CO + O₂ is exothermic by ?76.0 ±4.0 kcal mol^?1.     

Mixed ligand complexes of platinum(0) containing diphosphines

The reaction of PtCl₂L (L = diphosphine) with the appropriate diphosphine L′ in ethanol followed by reduction with aqueous sodium borohydride leads to either disproportionation to give mixtures of the bis(diphosphine) complexes PtL₂ and PtL′₂ or to the formation of the mixed ligand complex PtLL′ depending on the diphosphines. Mixed ligand complexes are obtained when L=Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂, L′ = Ph₂P(CH₂PPh₂cis-Ph₂PCH CHPPh₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₂AsPh₂, Ph₂- P(CH₂)₄PPh₂, o-Ph₂PC₆H₄PPh₂; and L=(C₆H₁₁)₂P(CH₂₂P(C₆H₁₁)₂, L′= Ph₂P(CH₂)PPh₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂cis-Ph₂PCHCHPPh₂, (2S,3S)-Ph₂PCH- (CH₃)CH(CH₃)PPh₂, (R)-Ph₂PCH(CH₃)CH₂PPh₂. When L=Ph₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂ L′= Ph₂P(CH₂₃PPh₂ or cis-Ph₂PCHCHRPh₂ the mixed ligand complexes are obtained but extensive disproportionation also occurs.

Organic Derivatives of Tin. III. Reactions of Trialkyltin Ethoxide with Alkanolamines

The reactions oi tributyltin ethoxide, Bu₃SnOEt, with N,N-dialkylalkanolamines, HORNR₂ (where R = ? CH₂ · CH₂? , ? CH₂ · CH₂ · CH₂? and ? CH₂ · MeCH? ; R = ? CH₃ and ? C₂H₅) give Bu₃SnORNR₂. In reactions of Bu₃SnOEt with N-methylethanolamine, HOCH₂ · CH₂NHMe, and various alkanolamines, HO · R · NH₂, (where R = ? CH₂ · CH₂? ? CH₂ · CH₂ · CH₂? , ? CHMe · CH₂? ? CH₂ · Me₂C? and ? CH₂ · CH · CH₂ · Me) both the hydroxy as well as the amino groups show reactivity to form products of the type: Bu₃SnOCH₂ · CH₂NHMe, Bu₃SnOCH₂ · CH₂NMeSnBu₃, Bu₃SnO · R · NH₂, Bu₃SnO · R · NHSnBu₃, and Bu₃SnO · R · N(SnBu₃)₂, respectively. The reaction between Bu₃SnOEt and o-aminophenol yields only Bu₃SnO · C₆H₄NH₂.     

Reactions of ionized dibutyl ether

The reactions of ionized di-n-butyl ether are reported and compared with those of ionized n-butyl sec-butyl and di-sec-butyl ether. The main fragmentation of metastable (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂)₂O^+. is C₂H₅? loss (?85%), but minor amounts (2–4%) of CH₃?, C₄H₇?, C₄H₉?, C₄H₁₀ and C₄H₁₀O are also eliminated. In contrast, C₂H₅? elimination is of much lower abundance (20 and 4%, respectively) from metastable CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃^+. and [CH₃CH₂(CH₃)CH]₂O^+., which expel mainly C₂H₆ and CH₃? (35–55%). Studies on collisional activation spectra of the C₆H₁₃O⁺ oxonium ions reveal that C₂H₅? loss from (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂)₂O^+. gives the same product, (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂ ⁺O?CHCH₃) as that formed by direct cleavage of CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃^+.. Elimination of C₂H₅? from (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂)₂O^+. is interpreted by means of a mechanism in which a 1,4-H shift to the oxygen atom initiates a unidirectional skeletal rearrangement to CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH(CH₃)CH₂CH₃^+., which then undergoes cleavage to CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂⁺O?CHCH₃ and C₂H₅?. Further support for this mechanism is obtained from considering the collisional activation and neutralization-reionization mass spectra of the (C₄H₉)₂O^+. species and the behaviour of labelled analogues of (CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂)₂O^+.. The rate of ethyl radical loss is suppressed relative to those of alternative dissociations by deuteriation at the γ-position of either or both butyl substituents. Moreover, C₂H₅? loss via skeletal rearrangement and fragmentation of the unlabelled butyl group in CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂CD₂CH₃^+. occurs approximately five times more rapidly than C₂H₄D? expulsion via isomerization and fission of the labelled butyl substituent. These findings indicate that the initial 1,4-hydrogen shift is influenced by a significant isotope effect, as would be expected if this step is rate limiting in ethyl radical loss.     

Influence of the nature of organic ligands on the character of thermal decomposition products of CoII and NiII pivalate complexes with amino derivatives of pyridine

The thermal stability and the solid-state thermal decomposition of the known mononuclear cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes [H₂N(C₅H₃N)N(H)C(Me)=NH]M(OOCBu^t)₂, [(NH₂)₂C₆H₂Me₂]₃M(OOCBu^t)₂ and the new compounds L₂M(OOCBu^t)₂ (L = = (2-NH₂)C₅H₃N, (2-NH₂)(6-Me)C₅H₃N), and [(2,6-NH₂)₂C₅H₃N]₂Ni(OOCBu^t)₂ were studied by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis. Efficient methods were developed for the synthesis of these complexes. The mononuclear complexes are thermally quite stable. The thermal stability of the complexes depends on the nature of the ligand and decreases in the series (2,6-NH₂)₂C₅H₃N > H₂N(C₅H₃N)NHC(Me)=NH > (NH₂)₂C₆H₂Me₂ > (2-NH₂)C₅H₃N > (2-NH₂)(6-Me)C₅H₃N. The nickel(II) complexes are thermally more stable than the related cobalt(II) complexes. The thermolysis (<500 °C) of Co and Ni pivalates is a destructive process. The phase composition of the decomposition products is determined by the nature of metal and coordinated ligands.     

Intrasphere Transformations of Platinum Nitrocomplexes in Phosphoric Acid Solutions as Method of Synthesis of Different Oligomeric Platinum Phosphates

Abstract

Platinum phosphatocomplexes of various types were for the first time obtained in multi-stage redox-interaction of isomers Pt(NH₃)₂ (NO₂)₂ with conc.H₃PO₄: phosphatonitroso-mines cis-HPt (NH₂NONH₃)NO₂ (H₂PO₄) ₂H₃PO₄ (I), trans- Pt(NH₃)₂ · NO₂NO(H₂PO₄)₂H₃PO₄(II); phosphatonitrodi'amines cis-(H_n) · [Pt(NH₃)₄(μ-HPO₄) (NO₂)₂] (H₃PO₄)₄(H₂0)₂(III), trans-(H_n) · [Pt(NH₃)₂(-NO₂)] (H₂PO₄)_1.25(H₂0) _1.5(IV); phosphatonitromo-nolamines (H)Pt₂(NH₃)₂(μ-NO₂) (μ-HPO₄) ₂ · 1.5H₂O (V)t tetra-phosphates (NH₄)₂[Pt₂(HPO₄)₄(H₂0)₂1 (VI) etc, (H)_2+n (NH₄)₂Pt₂(HPO₄4)(H₂20)(VII); phosphatodiamines cis-(H)_n[Pt₂ (NH₃ · L)₂(μ-HPO₄)₂] (VIII, IX), (L=NH₃, H₂0), n O. Molecular structures of the compounds IV-IX were derived from analysis of AB, IR, XPS, ESR and RDF spectra: binuclear clusters (VI, VII) and oligomeric chains consisting of platinum atoms bonded both by direct metal-metal interaction and by bridging groups (IV, V, VIII, IX) (1). 111, IV, VIII, IX are classifed as platinum blues of a new type with inorganic anions as bridging ligands: NO^? ₂(IV), HPO^2- ₄(III, VIII, IX). IV is the first trans-platinum blue. cis-Diamines form adducts in which the medium molecules are bonded with cis-ammonias. trans-Diamines do not form such adducts. Paper (1) presents a general mechanism of compound formations consisting in generation of intermediate Pt(III) forms followed by interaction with environmental species.     

Mass spectra of cobalt carbonyl complexes

The mass spectra of the following acetylenic derivatives of Co₂(CO)₈ are reported: Co₂(CO)₆C₂H₂Co₂(CO)₆C ₂,(CH₃)₂, Co₂(CO)₆ C₂(CH₂Cl)₂, Co₂(CO)₆C₂ (CF₃)₂, Co₂(CO)₂C₂(C₆H₅)₂ and Co₂(CO)₆C₂(COOCH₃)₂. The effect of different C₂RR′ on fragmentation modes is investigated. When R and R′ are aromatic groups, the major controlling factor is the stability of charged fragments; in other cases, it seems to be the loss of a stable neutral moiety. Transfer processes of alkoxylic groups are observed in Co₂(CO)₆C₂(COOCH₃)₂, as well as in Co₃(CO),₉CCOOCH₃, and Co₃(CO)₉CCOOC₂H₅. It is suggested that both cobalt and carbon atoms may be the migration sites.     

Kinetic Analysis of the Decomposition of Chelates of Di-alkyldithiocarbamate of Cd(II)

The thermal decomposition kinetics of the solid complexes Cd(S₂ CNR₂ )₂ , where R =C₂ H₅ , n -C₃ H₇ , n -C₄ H₉ or iso -C₄ H₉ , was studied by using isothermal and non-isothermal thermogravimetry. The superimposed TG/DTG/DSC curves revealed that thermal decomposition reactions occur in the liquid phase. The kinetic model that best fitted the experimental isothermal TG data was the one-dimensional phase-boundary reaction-controlled process R₁ . The thermal analysis data suggested the thermal stability sequence Cd(S₂ CNBuⁿ ₂ )₂ >Cd(S₂ CNPrⁿ ₂ )₂ >Cd(S₂ CNBuⁱ ₂ )₂ >Cd(S₂ CNEt₂ )₂ , which accords with the sequence of stability of the apparent activation energies.

Magnetic properties of nanocrystalline CuFe2O4 and kinetics of thermal decomposition of precursor

CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃·4.5H₂O was synthesized by solid-state reaction at low heat using CuSO₄·5H₂O, FeSO₄·7H₂O, and Na₂C₂O₄ as raw materials. The spinel CuFe₂O₄ was obtained via calcining CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃·4.5H₂O above 400 °C in air. The CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃·4.5H₂O and its calcined products were characterized by thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform FT-IR, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The result showed that CuFe₂O₄ obtained at 400 °C had a saturation magnetization of 33.5 emu g^?1. The thermal process of CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃·4.5H₂O experienced three steps, which involved the dehydration of four and a half crystal water molecules at first, then decomposition of CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃ into CuFe₂O₄ in air, and at last crystallization of CuFe₂O₄. Based on KAS equation, OFW equation, and their iterative equations, the values of the activation energy for the thermal process of CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃·4.5H₂O were determined to be 85 ± 23 and 107 ± 7 kJ mol^?1 for the first and second thermal process steps, respectively. Dehydration of CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃·4.5H₂O is multistep reaction mechanisms. Decomposition of CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃ into CuFe₂O₄ could be simple reaction mechanism, probable mechanism function integral form of thermal decomposition of CuFe₂(C₂O₄)₃ is determined to be 1 ? (1 ? α)^1/4.     

Initiation reactivity of anionic polymerization of fluorinated acrylates and methacrylates with diethyl(ethyl cyanoacetato)aluminum

Pseudo first‐order rate constants of the reaction of diethyl(ethyl cyanoacetato)aluminum [(C₂H₅)₂Al(NCCHCOOC₂H₅)] with 17 fluorinated acrylates and methacrylates and five hydrocarbon analogs for references were investigated to examine the initiation reactivities of the anionic polymerization of fluorinated vinyl monomers to afford the reactivity order: CH₂?C(CF₃)COOC₂H₅ > CH₂?C(CF₃)COOCH(CH₃)₂ > CH₂?CHCOOCH₂C₆F₅ > CH₂?C(CF₃)COOC(CH₃)₃ > CH₂?C(CF₃)COOCH₂C₆F₅ > CH₂?C(CF₃)COOCH(CF₃)₂ ≥ CH₂?CHCOOCH₃ > CH₂?CHCOOCH₂C₆H₅ ≥ CH₂?C(CF₃)COOCH₂CF₃ > CH₂?C(CH₃)COOCH₂C₆F₅ > CH₂?CHCOOCH₂CF₃ > CH₂?CHCOOCH₂C₂F₅ > CH₂?CHCOOCH(CF₃)₂ > CH₂?C(CH₃)COOCH₃ > CH₂?C(CH₃)COOCH₂C₆H₅ ≥ CH₂?C(CH₃)COOCH₂CH₂C₈F₁₇ > CH₂?C(CH₃)COOCH(CH₃)₂ > CH₂?C(CH₃)COOCH₂C₂F₅ ≥ CH₂?C(CH₃)COOCH₂CF₃. No rate constants for CH₂?C(CH₃)COOCH(CF₃)₂, CH₂?CFCOOC(CH₃)₃, and CH₂?CFCOOCH₂C₂F₅ were obtained because of too fast polymerization. The incorporation of a trifluoromethyl group into the vinyl group enhanced the reactivity toward the delocalized carbanion. The reactivity of other fluorinated acrylates and methacrylates was concluded to approximately be controlled by the fluorine contents and the bulkiness of substituents of monomers. The reactivity was generally decreased by increasing fluorine contents of fluoroalkyl substituents in ester groups. © Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 46: 7011–7021, 2008     

Electrochemical fluorination of chlorine-containing amines

The electrochemical fluorination of chlorine-containing alkylamines has been studied. It was found that, in general, the carbon-chlorine bond in the alkylamines is retained during electrochemical fluorination is anhydrous hydrogen fluoride, yielding chlorine-containing polyfluoroalkylamines. Perfluoroalkylamines and fluorocarbons were also produced.By the use of this method, several new chloropolyfluoroamines such as (CF₃)₂NCF₂CClF₂, (C₂F₅)₂NCF₂CClF₂, (CF₃)(C₂F₅)NCF₂CClF₂, (CClF₂CF₂)₂NCF₃, (CClF₂CF₂)₂NC₂F₅, (C₂F₅)(CClF₂CF₂)NF, (CClF₂CF₂)₂NF, (CF₃)₂NCF₂CF₂CClF₂, $\text{CF}{}_2\text{(CF}{}_2\text{)}{}_3\text{N}$CF₂CClF₂, and $\text{CF}{}_2\text{CF}{}_2\text{OC}{}_2\text{F}{}_4\text{N}$CF₂CClF₂ have been isolated and characterized.     

Reactions of iron carbonyl complexes with dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride

The reactions of dimethylthiocarbamoyl chloride with a number of neutral and ionic iron carbonyl complexes in tetrahydrofuran are described. A variety of unusual products were obtained, viz. Fe(CO)₂(S₂CNMe₂)₂ from Fe(CO)₅; Fe(CO)₂(S₂CNMe₂)(CSNMe₂) from Fe₂)CO)₉, Fe₃(CO)₁₂, and Fe(CO)₄^2?; [Fe-(CO)₂(S₂CNMe₂)(CNMe₂)(CNMe₂)₂S]⁺ from Fe(CO)₄^2?, and Fe₄(CO)₁₂S(CSNMe₂)-(CNMe₂) from Fe₂(CO)₈^2?, as well as Fe₂(CO)₆(CSSEt)₂ from Fe₂(CO)₉ and ClCSSEt. The structures and behavior and some reactions of these complexes are described.     

Alcoholysis of (2-methoxycarbonyl)ethyltin compounds

Under acid or base catalysis, di(2-alkoxycarbonylethyl)tin dichlorides of various R groups, (ROCOCH₂CH₂)₂SnCl₂, can be prepared conveniently in high yield by alcoholysis of (CH₃OCOCH₂CH₂)₂SnCl₂ in various alcohols, ROH (R = C₂H₅, C₄H₉, iso-C₄H₉, C₅H₁₁, C₆H₅CH₂, C₄H₉CH(C₂H₅)CH₂). When excess acid or base is present in the aqueous solution, (ROCOCH₂CH₂)₂SnCl₂ eliminate ROH and precipitate as C₆H₈O₄Sn regardless of the R group. C₆H₈O₄Sn can be converted into various (ROCOCH₂CH₂)₂SnCl₂ derivatives on dissolving in alcoholic HCl solutions.     

Mass spectra of some neopentylphosphorus derivatives

The fragmentation patterns and major metastable ions of the mass spectra of the neopentyl-phosphorus derivatives [(CH₃)₃CCH₂]₃P, [(CH₃)₃CCH₂]₂P(O)H, [(CH₃)₃CCH₂]_nPX_3-n (n = 1 and 2; X = H, Cl, C₆H₅ and CH = CH₂), [(CH₃)₃CCH₂]₃PS, [(CH₃)₃CCH₂]_nP(S)R_3-n (n = 1 and 2; R = C₆H₅ and CH = CH₂), [(CH₃)₃ CCH₂]₂PCH₂CH₂P[CH₂C(CH₃)₃]₂, ([CH₃)₃CCH₂]₂PCH₂PCH₂-CH₂P(H)C₆H₅ and [(CH₃)₃CCH₂]₂PCH₂CH₂P(S)(CH₃)₂ are described. Fragmentation of a neopentyl group by elimination of either C₄H₈ or CH₃ is very favourable when the neopentyl group is bonded to either a tricoordinate or tetracoordinate phosphorus atom. In neopentylphosphines with two or three neopentyl groups, stepwise elimination of C₄H₈ from all of the neopentyl groups occurs very readily. The resulting [(CH₃)_nPX]^+._3-n ions are often the most intense ions in the mass spectra.
