Oxidation of tertiary phosphine ligands by a sulphonyl azide: formation of a phosphine imine derivative of molybdenum(V)
Abstract
A molybdenum(V) derivative of n-propyldiphenylphosphine imine, [MoCl4(NPPrnPh2)(OPPrnPh2)], is formed by oxidation of the tertiary phosphine ligands of [MoCl4(PPrnPh2)2] by p-tolylsulphonyl azide.
