4.5. Preparation of phosphonium salt [Me(POMe)]I
An excess of MeI (0.20 mL, 3.22 mmol) was added to a solution
of 2-methoxyphenyldiphenylphosphine (0.20 g, 0.673 mmol) in
dry diethyl ether (25 mL) under nitrogen. The mixture immediately
became cloudy upon formation of the insoluble phosphonium salt.
The mixture was stirred for 5 h then evaporated to dryness to re-
move excess MeI. The residue was suspended in ether and the
white powder collected by filtration, washed with ether and hex-
anes, and dried under vacuum. Yield: 96%. 31P{1H} NMR (MeCN-

4.6. Crystallography
A single crystal suitable for X-ray analysis of complex 1a was
obtained by diffusion of E2O into CH2Cl2 solution. For crystal sam-
ple of complexes 1b was obtained by diffusion of Et2O into CH3OH
solution. Single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis of complex 2a
were obtained by diffusion of Et2O into CH3CN solution. All crystals
were mounted on a thin glass fiber by using oil (Paratone-N,
Exxon) before being transferred to the diffractometer. Data were
collected on a Siemens CCD automated diffractometer or a Bruker
Nonius Kappa CCD diffractometer at low temperature. Data pro-
cessing was performed with the integrated program package
SHELXTL [25]. All structures were solved using direct methods and
refined using full-matrix least squares on F2 using the program
SHELXL-97 [26]. All hydrogen atoms were fixed in idealized positions
