Recent advances in the coordination chemistry of diselenophosphates and allied ligands

Polymeric Organometallic Architectures of Novel PSe Anions

“…Current synthetic efforts in the field concentrate on metal complexes with ligands designed by formally replacing O atoms in phosphate ions with OR, SR, S, Se, OSe and combinations thereof, and ultimately on the construction of larger molecular aggregates. [15][16][17][18][19][20] In previous work, it was shown that reactions of metal salts MX (X = alkoxide, thiolate, carboxylate) with Lawessons reagent (L.R.) [{RP(S)A C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (m-S)} 2 ] (R = 4-anisyl) [21] or the analogous Se compound Woollins reagent (W.R.) [{PhP(Se)A C H T U N G T R E N N U N G (m-Se)} 2 ] [8,22] offer an alternative route to complexes containing P/S-or P/Se-based anionic ligands.…”

Transformations of P-chalcogenide precursors with a hydrated metal salt

“…The principle of weak interactions (e.g., hydrogen bonding or weak electrostatic interaction between chalcogenide atoms and heavier alkali metal atoms), however, has not been extensively exploited in the area of phosphorus-chalcogenides. Instead synthetic efforts continue to concentrate on metal complexes with ligands designed by formally replacing O atoms in phosphate ions with OR, SR, S, Se, OSe [6][7][8][9]. In previous work it was shown that reactions of metal salts MX (X = alkoxide, thiolate, carboxylate) with reagents of the type [RP(E)(l-E)] 2 (R = organic group, E = S, Se [10,11]) and binary phosphorus sulfides offer an alternative route to complexes containing P/S-or P/Se-based anionic ligands [12][13][14].…”

Using coordination chemistry to develop new routes to semiconductor and other materials

“…The coordination chemistry of the ligands was investigated with the synthesis and study of spectral properties of several (O,O -diethyldiselenophosphato) metals [18][19][20]. Recently, Liu and co-workers have reported a range of cluster compounds incorporating dialkyldiselenophosphate ligands [21][22][23][24][25][26].…”
