On the Versatile and Unusual Coordination Behavior of Ambiphilic Ligands o-R2P(Ph)BR‘2

Abstract
Monophosphine−boranes were shown to behave as bidentate ambiphilic ligands, whose structural versatility has been illustrated by the preparation of PdII and AuI complexes featuring unusual P → M−Cl → B and P → M → B interactions, respectively.
