ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Cerium(III) and (IV) Complexes of Phenacyldiphenylphosphine Oxide. The Structure of Ce(NO3)3(Ph2P(O)CH2C(O)Ph)3.
Abstract
The title ligand (I) reacts with Ce(III) nitrate (II) to give the title complex (III) (space group P1, Z=2) in which the ligands are bound as both bidentate and monodentate neutral ligands.
ChemInform Abstract
The title ligand (I) reacts with Ce(III) nitrate (II) to give the title complex (III) (space group P1, Z=2) in which the ligands are bound as both bidentate and monodentate neutral ligands. The reaction with the Ce(IV) salt (IV) yields a thermally unstable Ce(IV) complex of the formulation (V) which contains two ligands bound as both neutral and anionic chelates. The Ce(IV) in (V) is probably ten-coordinated.
