Reactivities of phosphaalkynes towards diverse bis-silylenes

Dalton Trans. 2024 Jun 17;53(24):10220-10225. doi: 10.1039/d4dt01367k.

Abstract

Bis-silylenes do not only act as strong chelating σ-donor ligands, but also exhibit cooperative behaviour in the activation of small molecules. Three different P-Si containing molecules were prepared from the reaction between tBuCP and different bis-silylenes, which are bridged by ferrocenediyl, diaminobenzene, or o-carborane.
