In the mononuclear title compound, trans-[PtCl2(C19H17P)2], the slightly distorted square-planar coordination sphere of the Pt(II) atom is occupied by two benzyl-diphenyl-phosphane ligands and two chloride atoms in a mutually trans geometry. The effective cone angles for the two phosphane ligands are 160 and 169°. C-H⋯Cl inter-actions generate infinite long chains along [01-1]. Additional C-H⋯π...

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ru(3)(C(9)H(11)P)H(2)(C(18)H(15)P)(CO)(8)], the triangular Ru(3) unit is capped with one mesitylphosphin-idene ligand. In the trigonal-pyramidal Ru(3)P core, one Ru(II) atom is coordinated by a triphenyl-phosphane ligand in a terminal fashion. Two hydride ligands bridge over two Ru-Ru bonds. These Ru-Ru bonds [2.9400 (4) and 2.9432 (4) Å] are sli...

The title complex, [Ag(C(18)H(15)P)(4)]BF(4), was prepared by the reaction of silver(I) tetra-fluorido-borate and triphenyl-phosphane in the presence of 1,2-bis-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl-ene. The Ag(I) atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by four P atoms from triphenyl-phosphane (PPh(3)) ligands. Due to symmetry, the tetra-fluorido-borate anion is disordered over three positions (each with one third oc...

The synthesis of four novel gold(i)-phosphane complexes coordinated to 9-phenanthrene has been carried out and their inclusion within organic matrixes showed the formation new pure room temperature phosphorescence materials.

The first phosphane complexes of germanium(iv) fluoride, trans-[GeF(4)(PR(3))(2)] (R = Me or Ph) and cis-[GeF(4)(diphosphane)] (diphosphane = R(2)P(CH(2))(2)PR(2), R = Me, Et, Ph or Cy; o-C(6)H(4)(PR(2))(2), R = Me or Ph) have been prepared from [GeF(4)(MeCN)(2)] and the ligands in dry CH(2)Cl(2) and characterised by microanalysis, IR, Raman, (1)H, (19)F{(1)H} and (31)P{(1)H} NMR spectroscopy. ...

A highly convergent synthesis of bis(triazolylphosphane oxides) was developed by a tandem copper-mediated Huisgen reaction-oxidative coupling. The phosphane oxides were reduced by trichlorosilane and the coordination of the resulting bisphosphanes was studied with various transition metals.

A ruthenium phosphane aryl sulfonate was found to be an efficient catalyst for the polymerization of ethene. Surprisingly, the resulting polyethylene is crosslinked.

Simple alkenylbis(pentafluorophenyl)boranes undergo 1,1-alkenylboration with phosphanylacetylenes to give phosphane-borane Lewis pairs with a conjugated diene backbone.
