The synthesis, characterisation and catalytic behaviour of ruthenium indenylidene complexes bearing an N-heterocyclic carbene and triisopropylphosphite are described.

A series of tetrathiafulvalenes functionalized with one or two trifluoromethyl electron-withdrawing groups (EWG) is obtained by phosphite coupling involving CF3-substituted 1,3-dithiole-2-one derivatives. The relative effects of the EWG such as CF3, CO2Me and CN on the TTF core were investigated from a combination of structural, electrochemical, spectrochemical and theoretical investigations. E...

Carbonyl compounds react with organozinc reagents in the presence of diphenyl phosphite to give the corresponding olefins. A variety of 1,3-dienes and unsaturated esters were obtained in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions.

Crystals of glycine phosphite G l y H 3 P 0 3 (abbreviated as GPI ) belong to the low-symmetry representatives of hydrogen-bonded crystals. At room temperature the unit cell of this compound is monoclinic (space group P21 /a) and contains four formula units [1]. The crystal structure is characterised by the presence of infinite chains of hydrogen-bonded phosphite anions that are directed along ...

The asymmetric unit of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(18)H(15)O(3)P)(CO)(9)], contains two crystallographically independent but similar mol-ecules. The bis-(diphenyl-arsino)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphite ligand bonds to the third Ru atom. Both the phosphite and arsine ligands are equatorial with respect to the Ru(3) trian...

Three new linear benzene-fused bis(tetrathiafulvalene) compounds (1-3) were easily synthesized by one-step phosphite-induced cross-coupling reactions; a solution processed organic field-effect transistor based on 2 shows high mobility of 0.02 cm2/Vs.

Two molar amounts of arynes were found to insert into a Sn-Sn bond of a distannane in the presence of a sub-stoichiometric amount of a palladium-phosphite complex, affording straightforwardly 2,2'-distannylbiaryls.

In the title compound, C(4)H(12)N(+)·H(2)PO(3) (-), the components are linked by inter-molecular N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, resulting in a two-dimensional framework.

The asymmetric unit of the title triangulo-triruthenium compound, Ru(3)(CO)(9)(μ-Ph(2)AsCH(2)AsPh(2))(P[OCH(CH(3))(2)](3)) or [Ru(3)(C(25)H(22)As(2))(C(9)H(21)O(3)P)(CO)(9)], contains two mol-ecules of the triangulo-triruthenium complex. The bis-(diphenyl-arsanyl)methane ligand bridges an Ru-Ru bond and the monodentate phosphite ligand binds to the third Ru atom. Both the arsine and phosphite l...
