Complexes of 2,2′,2″-Nirtilotriphenol. Part IV. Cage Compounds with Phosphorus(III) and Phosphorus(V)

The ligand 2,2′,2″-nitrilotriphenol reacts with P(III) and P(V) compounds to form corresponding phosphorus complexes. Syntheses and NMR data of 2,2′,2″-nitrilotriphenyl phosphite ( II ), 2,2′,2″-nitrilotriphenyl phosphate ( III ) and of a hydrolysis product of II , 2,2′-[N-(2-hydroxyphenyl)imino]diphenly phosphonate ( IV ), are reported, as well as crystal structures of II and IV . Phosphite II shows a bicycloundecane framework; no N?Pinteraction is present. The phosphonate IV shows two coordinated and one dangling phenol group; the N-atom does not interact with the P-atom. Strong acids protonate II as well as III to form cations: in these, NMR evidence indicates coordination of the N-atom to the P-atom.     

Symmetric Hilbert spaces arising from species of structures

Symmetric Hilbert spaces such as the bosonic and the fermionic Fock spaces over some lsquo;one particle space’ are formed by certain symmetrization procedures performed on the full Fock space. We investigate alternative ways of symmetrization by building on Joyal's notion of a combinatorial species. Any such species F gives rise to an endofunctor of the category of Hilbert spaces with contractions mapping a Hilbert space to a symmetric Hilbert space with the same symmetry as the species F. A general framework for annihilation and creation operators on these spaces is developed, and compared to the generalised Brownian motions of R. Speicher and M. Bożejko. As a corollary we find that the commutation relation with admits a realization on a symmetric Hilbert space whenever f has a power series with infinite radius of convergence and positive coefficients.
