Tris(2-pyrimidyl)- and tris(5-pyrimidyl)phosphines: new multidentate ligands with diverse coordination chemistry.
Tris(2-pyrimidyl)- and tris(5-pyrimidyl)phosphines, previously inaccessible multidentate ligands, have been synthesized and introduced into coordination chemistry. Theoretical studies indicate that both ligands are weak σ-donors and strong π-acceptors, exhibiting electronic properties comparable to those of trialkyl ph...
