Abstract

2,4,6-Tri-tert-butyl-1,3,5-triphosphabenzene forms η ¹ complexes with [AuL] ⁺. Significant structural differences are observed between the P ₃(C ^tBu) ₃ units, depending on the auxiliary ligand bound to gold. For L = NHC, a planar P ₃(C ^tBu) ₃ is observed; for L = P( ^tBu) ₂(o-biphenyl), the P ₃(C ^tBu) ₃ ligand is significantly puckered in the solid state. NICS computations on model complexes suggest this puckering only has a minor effect on the aromaticity of the heterocyclic ring.
