Synthese und Eigenschaften von [Ph2(Carb)P]AlCl4 (Carb = 2,3‐Dihydro‐1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐yliden) – ein stabiler Carben‐Komplex des dreiwertigen Phosphors [1]

Synthesis and Properties of [Ph₂(Carb)P]AlCl₄ (Carb = 2,3‐Dihydro‐1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene) – a Stable Carbene Complex of Trivalent Phosphorus [1] 2,3‐Dihydro‐1,3‐diisopropyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene ( 7 , Carb) reacts with chlorodiphenylphosphane to give the cationic phosphane [Ph₂(Carb)P]Cl ( 10 ) which is transferred to the more stable salt [Ph₂(Carb)]AlCl₄ ( 13 ) on treatment with AlCl₃. The cationic phosphane selenide [Ph₂(Carb)PSe]AlCl₄ ( 14 ) is obtained from 13 and selenium. Spectroscopic and structural data indicate [Ph₂(Carb)P]⁺ to be a cationic analogue of Ph₃P. The X‐ray structure of 13 is reported.
