title: Amido phosphine complexes of zinc.
abstract: The first examples of amido phosphine complexes of zinc have been prepared. Addition of N-(2-diphenylphosphinophenyl)-2,6-diisopropylaniline (H[NP]) to ZnMe(2) or ZnEt(2) in diethyl ether at -35 degrees C generated the monomeric, three-coordinate [NP]ZnR (R = Me, Et), while the metathesis reaction of ZnCl(2) with [NP]Li(THF)(2) in diethyl ether at -35 degrees C produced homoleptic [NP](2)Zn.
