Novel Coordination Compounds of 2-(Diisopropylamino)-1-phosphaethyne: [{η⁴-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}], [(Ph₃P)₂Pt{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}], and [Co₂(CO)₆{η²-μ²-(iPr₂NCP)}] 2-(Diisopropylamino)-phosphaethyne iPr₂N? C?P ( 2 ) reacts with the Ni(0)-complexes [Ni(1,5-cyclooctadiene)₂] and [Ni(CO)₃(1-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octane)], respectively, to give the novel complex [{η⁴-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}] ( 5 ), with the 1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene derivative and 2 (side-on) as π-ligands. The molecular structure of 5 determined by X-ray diffraction on single crystals proves the spin systems and rotational barriers deduced from NMR-data (¹H, ¹³C-, ³¹P). The PC distances of the four-membered ring of 1.817(2) and 1.818(2) Å – as expected – are considerably longer than the PC bond of the η²-coordinated phosphaalkyne 2 [1.671(2) Å]. – In the reactions of 2 with [(Ph₃P)₂Pt(C₂H₄)] or [Co₂(CO)₈] the ligand properties of 2 resemble those of alkynes affording the complexes [(Ph₃P)₂Pt{η²-(iPr₂NCP)}] ( 7 ) with side-on coordinated 2 and [Co₂(CO)₆{η²-μ²-(iPr₂NCP)}] with 2 acting as a 4e donor bridge in quantitative yield. In attempts to prepare copper(I) complexes of the aminophosphaalkyne 2 by reaction with CuCl or CuI the only isolable product formed in reasonable amounts under the influence of air and moisture is the 1 λ³, 3 λ⁵-diphosphetene (iPr₂N) ( 10 ) (isolated yield: ca. 20%). The crystal structure analysis of 10 indicates a strong structural relationship to the diamino-2-phosphaallyl cation [Me(iPr₂N)]⁺ ( 12 ), the 1,3-diphosphacyclobutadiene ligand (iPr₂NCP)₂ in the binuclear complex [{η¹, μ²-(iPr₂NCP)₂}Ni₂(CO)₆] ( 3a ) as well as to the heterocycles (dme)₂LiOE₂′ (E′ = S, 11a ; E′ = Se, 11b ) prepared by Becker et al.

Synthesis, Characterization, and Structure of P₇(t-Bu₃Si)₃ (?Tris(supersilyl)heptaphosphane(3)”? Tris(tri-tert-butylsilyl)heptaphosphanortricyclane P₇(t-Bu₃Si)₃ 1 is obtained from the reaction of (t-Bu)₃Si? Si(t-Bu)₃ with white phosphorus and forms colorless to pale yellow thermostable crystals. 1 is identified by the complete analysis of its ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectrum (A[MX]₃ spin system) as well as by a single crystal structure determination (space group Pca2₁, a = 170.76(2)pm, b = 131.14(3)pm, c = 426.61(5)pm, α = β = γ= 90°, Z = 8 formula units in the elementary cell). The steric demand of the (t-Bu)₃Si-Groups causes an increase of the exocyclic bond angles at the equatorial phosphorus atoms P^e, while it does not particularly influence the P₇-skeleton. Chlorine (r.t.) and bromine (70°C) degrade the P₇-cage of 1 with formation of PX₃ and (t-Bu)₃SiX (X = Cl, Br).

In 2 ν_as(CRhC) is observed at 479 cm^–1. The vibrational spectra are assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination. The valence force constants are f_d(RhSe) = 1.08 ( 1 ), 1.10 ( 2 ) and f_d(RhC) = 3.14 mdyn/Å ( 2 ). f_d(RhS) = 1.32 mdyn/Å is determined for [Rh(SCN)₆]^3–, which has not been calculated so far. The ¹⁰³Rh NMR resonances are 2287 ( 1 ), 1680 ppm ( 2 ) and the ⁷⁷Se NMR resonances are –32.7 ( 1 ) and –110.7 ppm ( 2 ). The Rh–C bonding of the cyano ligand in 2 is confirmed by a dublett in the ¹³C NMR spectrum at 136.3 ppm.

The compounds were characterized by means of ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ⁷Li NMR spectroscopy, IR spectroscopy, elementary analysis, mass spectra, and 2, 3 and 4 additionally by means of X-ray diffraction analysis. 2 crystallizes in the space group P1 with 2 formula units in the elementary cell; a = 10.137(9), b = 15.295(12), c = 15.897(14) Å; α = 101.82(7), β = 91.65(7), γ = 98.99(7)°; 3 crystallizes in the space group P2_t/n with 4 molecules in the elementary unit; a = 11.914(6), b = 15.217(10), c = 14.534(10) Å; α = 90, β = 103.56(5), γ = 90°. 4 : space group P1 with 2 molecules in the elementary unit; a = 8.844(4), b = 12.291(6), c = 14.411(7) Å, α = 66.55(2), β = 89.27(2), γ = 71.44(2)°.

[t-Bu₂P]₃P₇ and (t-Bu₂Sb)₃P₇, as well as Investigations on the Formation of Heptaphosphanes (3) Containing PMe₂, PF₂, and P(CF₃)₂ Groups Tris(di-tert-butylphospha)heptaphosphanortricyclane (t-Bu₂P)₃P₇ 1 obtained by reacting Li₃P₇ · 3 DME with t-Bu₂PF forms yellow crystals. (t-Bu₂Sb)₃P₇ 2 produced similarly from t-Bu₂SbCl and Li₃P₇ · 3 DME didn't form crystals; it decomposes in a solution of toluene above ?10°C. Both compounds were identified by their ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectra, and 1 also by elemental analysis and single crystal structure determination (space group) P2₁/a, a = 1 712.0(9) pm, b = 1 105.1(7) pm, c = 1 854.0(10) pm, β = 94.96(4)°, Z = 4 formula units in the elementary cell). Attempts to synthesize (Me₂P)₃P₇ 3 , (F₂P)₃P₇ 4 and [(F₃C)₂P]₃P₇ 5 failed as dialkylchlorophosphanes as Me₂PCl e. g. with Li₃P₇ · 3 DME react under Li/Cl exchange, dialkylfluorophosphanes (except t-Bu₂PF) disproportionate, and neither PF₃ nor (F₃C)₂PBr with Li₃P₇ · 3 DME give the desired products 4 or 5 , resp.
