The use of the exceptionally bulky tris-2-(4,40 -di-tert-butylbiphenylyl) phosphine ligand allows the isolation and complete characterization of the first dicoordinate gold(I)–ethylene adduct, filling a missing fundamental piece on the organometallic chemistry of gold. Besides, the bonding situation of this species has been investigated by...

The reactivity of germanium and tin dichlorides with a transition metal-only frustrated Lewis pair based on Au(i) and Pt(0) compounds bearing bulky phosphine ligands is described in this work. We have examined both the reactivity of tetrylene dihalides towards the individual components of the metallic pair, as well as under metal/metal...

The experimental and computational characterization of a series of dialkylterphenyl phosphines, PR2Ar′ is described. The new P‐donors comprise five compounds of general formula PR2Arurn:x-wiley:09476539:media:chem201803598:chem201803598-math-0001 (R=Me, Et, iPr, c‐C5H9 and c‐C6H11);...

A series of sterically demanding aryl phosphine ligands (L) bearing terphenyl substituents, PR2Ar′ (R = hydrocarbyl, Ar′ = 2,6-diarylphenyl radical) has been prepared and characterized. The stability of these ligands towards oxidation in the air has been tested, and theoretical and experimental studies aimed to provide information on their...
