Synthesis and complexation of heptafluoroisopropyldiphenylphosphine.
We report a one-step synthesis of the phosphine, PPh(2)(i)C(3)F(7) from commercially available precursors. The stereoelectronic properties of the phosphine were probed by coordination to transition metals. Mo(CO)(5)PPh(2)(i)C(3)F(7) was synthesised and the synthesis and structure of trans-PtCl(2)(PPh(2)(i)C(3)F(7))(2) are described. PPh(2)(i)C(3)F(7) was found to be a bulky electron-withdrawing ligand.
