Molecular and crystal structures of tris(3-methylphenyl)phosphine and its chalcogenides

Synthesis and structural characterization of Zn2+, Cd2+ and Hg2+ complexes with tripyrrolidinophosphine chalcogenides

“…Phosphine chalcogenides of the types R3PE (E= O, S, Se) have attracted much attention owing to their easy preparation [1][2][3][4][5], high solubility [6,7] and good reactivity toward different metal ions in many organic solvents [6][7][8]. The stability of these compounds depends largely on the nature of substituents on the phosphorus [9][10][11]. Furthermore, renewed interest in the coordination chemistry of such compounds stems from their increasing use as suitable single source precursors for the preparation of metal chalcogenide thin films ME (M= Hg 2+ , Cd 2+ or Zn 2+ ; E = S, Se or Te) as well as ME quantum dots [12][13][14][15].…”
