New advances in the synthesis of a water-soluble triphosphine and the development of tripodally coordinated rhodium(I) and platinum(II) complexes

Abstract
A new water-soluble triphosphine PhP[CH2CH2P-(CH2OH)2]2 is produced via the formylation of PhP(CH2CH2PH2)2; this triphosphine, upon interaction with [Rh(cod)Cl]2 and Pt(cod)Cl2(cod = cycloocta-1,5-diene) under biphasic (water/CH2Cl2) conditions, produced water-soluble rhodium(I) and platinum(II) complexes respectively; 31P and 195Pt NMR spectroscopic data confirm the tripodal coordination of RhI and PtII involving > PPh and the two –P(CH2OH)2 functionalities.
