Abstract

Reaction of 2-vinylphenyl(diphenyl)phosphine, o-CH₂: CH·C₆H₄·PPh₂(sp), with M₃(CO)₁₂(M = Fe or Ru) gives monomeric complexes M(CO)₃(sp) and M(CO)₂(sp)₂; the former are chelate mono-olefin complexes containing bidentate (sp), while Fe(CO)₂(sp)₂ is shown by our X-ray structural analysis to contain a bidentate (sp) ligand, and a monodentate P-bonded (sp) moiety, in a configuration approximating to a trigonal bipyramid.
