Abstract
The syntheses and solid-state structures of bis(diazasilaphosphetidines) of the type [Me 2 Si(μ-N t Bu) 2 P] 2 NR, R = Ph, i Pr, t Bu, of the P-chiral analogue [Me 2 Si(μ-N t Bu)(μ-N-2,6- i PrPh)P] 2 (C 2 H 4 ), and of some of their metal complexes are reported. The highly electron-rich, modular bis(phosphines) are easy to synthesize and may have applications in catalysis.
