“…These were characterised by the analytical and NMR spectroscopic techniques applied to the phosphane precursors as well as (1) 2.180(6), P(2)ϪC(48) 1.843(6), O(2)ϪC(51) 1.55(2), RhϪC(2) 2.155(6), P(3)ϪC(47) 1.849(6); P(1)ϪRhϪP (2) 87.56(6), P (1)ϪC (46)ϪC (45) 115.0(4), C(49)ϪO (1)ϪC (50) 112.9(5), P(1)ϪRhϪP(3) 87.11(5), P(2)ϪC (48) (50)ϪC (51) 109.5(6), P(2)ϪRhϪP (3) 89.52(5), P(3)ϪC (47)ϪC (45) 117.4(4), C(50)ϪC(51)ϪO(2) 100.8(9); b) ligand arrangement in the first coordination sphere of complex 11b; c) the packing of the molecules of 11b in the unit cell; for the sake of clarity, the phenyl groups of the diphenylphosphane units, and the lattice solvent molecules (CH 2 Cl 2 ) have been omitted (14) by electrospray mass spectrometry, which confirmed the uniformity of the products. The molecular ion peaks were observed at m/z ϭ 1002.…”
