Carbon disulfide is cleaved by n‐propyldiphenylphosphine and nickel(II) bromide in a one‐step process, to form two unprecedented complexes: orange, [Ni(S2C2(PnPrPh2)2)Br(PnPrPh2)]Br⋅CS2 and purple [Ni{η2‐SC(PnPrPh2)2}Br(PnPrPh2)]Br⋅CS2. More information can be found in the Full Paper by A. L. Balch et al. on page 2491.
Carbon disulfide is cleaved by n‐propyldiphenylphosphine and nickel(II) bromide in a one‐step process, to form two unprecedented complexes: orange, [Ni(S2C2(PnPrPh2)2)Br(PnPrPh2)]Br⋅CS2 (1) and purple [Ni{η2‐SC(PnPrPh2)2}Br(PnPrPh2)]Br⋅0.5CS2 (2). Orange (1) contains a dithiolene‐related ligand that results from carbon–carbon bond formation, while purple (2) contains a remarkable ligand in which two n‐propyldiphenylphosphine molecules have added to a carbon atom of a CS unit that is coordinated to nickel.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
