Abstract:In this work, the reactivity of tetrel-functionalized phosphorus clusters toward organoazides is probed. Clusters (Me 3 Si) 3 P 7 (1) and (Me 3 Ge) 3 P 7 (2) were reacted with benzyl azide, phenyl azide, and 4-bromophenyl azide, and it was found that the [RN] (R = benzyl, phenyl, and 4bromophenyl) unit from the azide inserted into the phosphorus−tetrel bonds on the cluster, accompanied by N 2 elimination. Through control of the azide stoichiometry, the mono-, bis-, and trisinserted products could be observed, … Show more
