Synthesis and X-Ray Crystal-Structure Determination of the First Potassium-Salt of a Primary Phosphane - (KP(H)MES-Asterisk)(X)
The molecular structure of [KP(H)Mes*](x) [Mes* = 2,4,6-(Bu3C6H2)-Bu-t] features a one-dimensional polymeric ladder-type structure in the solid-state with each alkali metal cation coordinating to the pi-cloud of a neighboring supermesityl ring. This complex represents the first structurally characterized potassium salt of a primary phosphane.
