Abstract

A single enantiomer of a cationic phosphine, [α-CgPAmHMe]BF4 has been synthesized and coordinated to Rh(I), Au(I), Ag(I), Cu(I), and Pt(0). Analysis of pertinent empirical data reveals the ligand to be highly electron-withdrawing due to the cationic amidinium group directly bound to the phosphorus. The N−P bond connecting the amidinium and the phosphacycle is susceptible to attack by nucleophiles (H2O, OH−) when coordinated leading to bond rupture and release of the neutral amidine group. These fortuitous observations suggest that [α-CgPAmHMe]BF4 may be a very useful synthon for the production of novel asymmetric phosphines.
