The Oligomerization of Phosphinoborane by Titanium Complexes

Abstract

The PB chain gang: The reactions of an acetylene complex of titanocene with the parent phosphinoborane stabilized only by a Lewis base lead to novel phosphinoborane oligomers coordinated by {Cp2Ti} complex fragments. Depending on the reaction conditions (temperature and stoichiometry), unprecedented oligomeric chains of phosphinoborane are obtained by dehydro-oligomerization and PP coupling reactions. btmsa = bis(trimethylsilyl)acetylene.
