Triphenylphosphine (IUPAC name: triphenylphosphane) is a common organophosphorus compound with the formula P(C 6 H 5) 3 and often abbreviated to P Ph 3 or Ph 3 P. It is versatile compound that is widely used as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a ligand for transition metal complexes, including ones that serve as catalysts in organometallic chemistry.
Preferred IUPAC name. ... Triphenylphosphite is a common ligand in coordination chemistry. It forms zero-valent complexes of the type M[P(OC 6 H 5) 3] 4 (M = Ni, Pd, Pt).
Triphenylphosphine oxide (often abbreviated TPPO) is the organophosphorus compound with the formula OP(C 6 H 5) 3, also written as Ph 3 PO or PPh 3 O (Ph = C 6 H 5).It is one of the more common phosphine oxides.
Trifluorophosphine (PF 3) is a strong π-acid with bonding properties akin to those of the carbonyl ligand. [8] In early work, phosphine ligands were thought to utilize 3 d orbitals to form M-P pi-bonding, but it is now accepted that d-orbitals on phosphorus are not involved in bonding. [ 9 ]
Wilkinson's catalyst is usually obtained by treating rhodium(III) chloride hydrate with an excess of triphenylphosphine in refluxing ethanol. [9] [10] [1] Triphenylphosphine serves as both a ligand and a two-electron reducing agent that oxidizes itself from oxidation state (III) to (V).
The molecule is tetrahedral, with point group symmetry of T d, as expected for a four-coordinate metal complex of a metal with the d 10 configuration. [4] Even though this complex follows the 18 electron rule, it dissociates triphenylphosphine in solution to give the 16e − derivative containing only three PPh 3 ligands:
Bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium chloride is a coordination compound of palladium containing two triphenylphosphine and two chloride ligands. It is a yellow solid that is soluble in some organic solvents.
Vaska's complex is the trivial name for the chemical compound trans-carbonylchlorobis(triphenylphosphine)iridium(I), which has the formula IrCl(CO)[P(C 6 H 5) 3] 2.This square planar diamagnetic organometallic complex consists of a central iridium atom bound to two mutually trans triphenylphosphine ligands, carbon monoxide and a chloride ion.
