Polyamidophosphite Complexes of Metals as Catalysts

Abstract

Interaction between the equimolecular amounts of glycols (diatomic phenols) and phosphorous acid triamides in diglyme or without solvent gives phosphorus-bearing polyamidophosphites. The structure of these compounds was studied by NMR spectroscopy, and it was shown that a partial disproportionation of amidophosphite fragments into phosphite ones can occur in the course of their synthesis. The chemical properties of the obtained compounds are being studied. First rhodium complexes with polyamidophosphite ligands were obtained. These complexes are shown to be more active hydrogenation catalysts than the corresponding low-molecular complexes. 1
