Hydrogenation of White Phosphorus to Phosphane with Rhodium and Iridium Trihydrides.
1998
Only one of the four P atoms of P4 reacts with rhodium and iridium trihydrides [(triphos)MH3 ] to provide phosphane [Eq. (a)]. The resulting cyclo-P3 fragment is efficiently scavenged by the metal fragment to give the complexes [(triphos)M(η3 -P3 )]. A mechanism accounting for the hydrogenation reaction is proposed in which the complexes [(triphos)MH(η1 :η1 -P4 )] and [(triphos)M(η1 :η2 -HP4 ] are intermediates. The latter complex contains the unprecedented hydridotetraphosphane ligand HP4- .
Pentakis(dimethylzinn)diphosphid, struktur und kernresonanzspektren eines zinnreichen bicyclus
1979
Abstract Dehydrogenation of dimethylstannane combined with the hydrostannolysis of white phosphorus yields pentakis(dimethyltin) diphosphide, a tin-rich heterocyclic compound, which has the highly symmetric, bicyclic molecular structure of norbornane. Using the X-ray structure data the magnetic resonance spectra are discussed.
White Phosphorus Is Air-Stable Within a Self-Assembled Tetrahedral Capsule
2009
Molecular Fire Quencher Cage-shaped molecular assemblies can regulate the reactivity of smaller molecules trapped within them. Mal et al. (p. 1697 ) extend this approach to enable the protection of elemental white phosphorus (P 4 ), a substance that rapidly ignites on contact with oxygen. The tetrahedral cages self-assemble in aqueous solution through coordination of six ligands to four iron ions, and efficiently capture phosphorus from a suspension. The water-soluble host-guest constructs were stable in air for at least 4 months, but released intact P 4 rapidly on displacement by added benzene.
