A strategy for the build-up of transition-metal complexes containing tripodal [ArPOS2]2– and [ArPS3]2– ligands (Ar = 4-anisyl)

Abstract

The investigation presents new synthetic methods for the generation of tripodal P/S ligands by reactions of metal alkoxides and carboxylates with the organoperthiophosphinic acid anhydride Lawesson's reagent. Four new transition-metal complexes containing various tripodal ligand sets were synthesised and characterised.
