Abstract: | Ylide Adducts of Pentele Trichlorides Ylides Ph3PCR2 form 1 : 1 adducts with PCl3, AsCl3 und SbCl3. The addition of HCl to dichlorophosphanyl- und dichloroarsanyl ylides also leads to such adducts. In solution the PCl3 adducts 2 are dissociated into ions. For the AsCl3 adducts 3 b and 3 e of triphenylphosphonium ethylide and isopropylide X-ray analyses show distinctly different degrees of transition from a zwitterionic ψ-tbp to a cationic ψ-tetrahedral structure. The SbCl3 adduct 4 b of the triphenylphosphonium ethylide on the other hand forms a rather asymmetric dimer and approaches a square-pyramidal geometry at the antimony atom. The 2 : 1 ylide adducts 11 with PCl3 form in solution the dications (Ph3PCR2)2PCl2+. The 2 : 3 adduct 15 of triphenylphosphonium methylide to AsCl3 also has an ionic structure in the crystal. There are cations (Ph3PCH2)2AsCl2+, which pairwise join with two AsCl3 molecules to form doubly charged supracations in the presence of As2Cl82– as counterions. |
