Formation of new cluster derivatives of triphospholene via ligand substitution and cleavage of P-P bond(s)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/b002140g

At room temperature, triphospholene PhPPhPPhPCPh=CPh (L) underwent mono- and di-substitution reactions with [Os3(CO)n(MeCN)] to afford the following derivatives: mono-substituted cluster [Os3(CO)-(2-PhPPhPPhPCPh=UPh)] 1, di-substituted bridged cluster [Os
