Chelated unsymmetrical triphosphine ligands of the type R2PCH2CH2CH2P(Ph)CH,CH2PR'2 and R2PCH2CH2CH2P-(Ph)CH2CH2CH2PRt2 (R = R' = C&; R = R' = C6Hll; R = C6Hl1, R' = C6H5) can be synthesized rapidly on platinum by Et3N-catalyzed condensation of simpler phosphine units onto a coordinated secondary phosphine. The resulting [PtCl(triphos)]X (X = C1, AsF6) complexes are characterized by elemental analyses and by 'H, 3'P, and lssPt NMR spectroscopy. For those complexes that contain a five-membered chelate ring, the IgSPt 6 values are shifted to higher fields, whereas the 6 values are shifted to lower fields, when compared with analogous phosphino groups in six-membered chelate rings.
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.
