A bidentate boryl ligand: syntheses of platinum and iridium complexes

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Mar 14;50(21):2738-40. doi: 10.1039/c4cc00344f.

Abstract

A methylenediphenylphosphine substituted diazaborole was obtained in a two-step procedure in amounts around 4 g. This B-P ligand was coordinated at platinum and iridium and the structures of the boryl complexes are discussed. In the case of the iridium derivative an interesting boron-boron contact was found.
