Abstract:
A series of novel push–pushI and push–pullII carbene-stabilized complexes of phosphorus(V) fluorides bearing substituents with liquid-crystalline properties were synthesized by the oxidative addition of difluoroamines to phosphorus(III) halides. These octahedral complexes were characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis.
