title: Synthesis, structure and reductive dechlorination of the C-centred phosphorus(III) beta-diketiminate PCl(Ph)L [L = C[C(Me)NC6H3Pri2(-2),6][C(Me)NHC6H3Pri2(-2),6]].
abstract: Treatment of the beta-diketimine HL with successively LiBun and PCl2Ph gave the first C-centered monodentate beta-diketiminate PCl(Ph)L 1; with C8K 1 underwent reductive dechlorination yielding 2, a novel N-PIII-PIII-C=C heterocycle.
