Abstract
Novel phosphido cluster complexes of formula (Me2M)4(μ-(1,2-PR)2C6H 4)2 (M = Al, R = Me (1); M = Ga, R = t-Bu (2)) result when the chelating diphosphine ligand 1,2-bis(alkylphosphino)benzene is mixed with trialkylaluminum and -gallium reagents. When the potentially chelating ligand 1,2-bis(tert-butylphosphino)-ethane is mixed with 2 equiv of AlMe3 under the same conditions, the secondary phosphine bis-adduct complex Me3Al·PH(t-Bu)CH2CH 2(t-Bu)HP·AlMe3 (3) is formed.
