Abstract
The coordination characteristics and donor/acceptor properties of a series of 2-pyridyl substituted phosphine ligands have been investigated using structural, spectroscopic and DFT calculational studies. A range of different coordination modes are observed in Mo and W carbonyl complexes of tris-2-pyridyl-phosphine ligands of the type P(2-py') (2-py' = substituted or unsubstituted 2-pyridyl group), including an unprecedented example exhibiting N,N′,μ2-π coordination.
