title: Evidence for Nondissociative Ligand Exchange within [4+2]-Coordinate Phosphorus Species in Solution.
abstract: [4+2]-Coordinate phosphorus compounds, [bis(8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl)]phenylphosphane, [bis(8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl)]phenylphosphane sulfide, [bis(8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl)]phenylphosphonium bromide, [bis(8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl)]methylphosphane, and [bis(8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl)]phosphane oxide, with two identical bidentate (8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl) ligands have asymmetrical geometries in solution and undergo intramolecular nondissociative ligand exchange as shown by dynamic (1)H NMR studies. The DeltaG() values for this process were found to lie in the range 56.2-61.7 kJ mol(-)(1). The (1)H NMR study for bis[(8-(dimethylamino)-1-naphthyl)]phenylphosphane sulfide has revealed that two hexacoordinate isomers coexist in solution in a solvent dependent ratio. Their interconversion in solution is consistent with an intramolecular 1,2-shift of adjacent ligands.
