An unprecedented cyclometallated platinum(ii) complex incorporating a phosphinine co-ligand: synthesis and photoluminescence behaviour

“…Phosphinines -the phosphorus analogues of pyridines -constitute an intriguing family of ligands owing to their ability to act as strong π-acceptors. Since their discovery by Märkl et al,9 investigations into their coordination chemistry have essentially been limited to low valence transition metal carbonyl complexes. 10 The tedious procedures to synthesise phosphinines and their inadequate stability to harsh reaction conditions have hampered the exploration of their coordination chemistry with many transition metals.…”

Crystal Structures of the Gold(I) Phosphinine Complexes [AuCl(C5H2P-2,6-Me2-4-Ph)] and [AuCl(C5H2P-2,4,6-Ph3)]

“…λ 3 -Phosphinines (phosphabenzenes) were introduced more than four decades ago by Märkl [1] and Ashe [2]. Their recent rapid development from laboratory curiosities to important ligands in homogeneous transition metal catalysis [3 -7] was triggered by seminal work published by the group of Zenneck [8] and by Breit [9] in 1996.…”

[Re(CO)3Cl(C5H4ClP)2] and [Re(CO)2Cl(C5H4ClP)3]: synthesis and characterization of two novel rhenium(i) phosphinine complexes

“…[5][6][7] The synthesis of the rst phosphinine derivative was described by Märkl in 1966. 8 However, only when Le Floch and Mathey reported more convenient synthetic methodologies, did functionalized phosphinines become more easily accessible. [9][10][11] Various coordination modes of phosphinines and their derivatives to numerous transition metals as well as their application in homogeneous catalysis have been reported since.…”
