Abstract

Metal phosphonates are an important class of compounds with applications in chemistry and material science. Despite an intense amount of research over the last few decades, the solution characterization of these species remains limited owing to poor solubility in common organic solvents. This article describes the synthesis, characterization, and reactivity of a rare class of organosoluble metal phosphonate complexes. The synthesis of Ag[P(O)(OC₈H₁₇)₂] is straightforward and can be accomplished in a single three-hour laboratory period with minimal preparation. To the best of our knowledge, Ag[P(O)(OC₈H₁₇)₂] exhibits the largest ¹J_AgP coupling constants (¹⁰⁷Ag, ¹⁰⁹Ag) ever reported, which clearly establishes that the bonding mode of the phosphonate fragment is through phosphorus and not through oxygen.

  Reductive elimination from arylpalladium phosphonate complexes containing diphosphine ligands has been investigated from discrete reaction intermediates. The rate of elimination was dependent upon the metal-bound aryl fragments with electron-donating ...
