title: Variable coordination chemistry of the phospha(III)guanidinate anion; application as a metal-functionalised phosphine ligand.
abstract: Structural investigation of Li-complexes of the phospha(III)guanidinate anion [Ph2PC[NiPr]2]- revealed variable coordination to lithium; synthesis of the dimethyl aluminium compound, (Ph2PC[NiPr]2)AlMe2, which behaves as a metal-functionalised phosphine ligand towards platinum, is reported.
