Abstract

A set of substituted tris(pyrazolyl)phosphine oxides (OP(pz x) 3) has been prepared in high yield and applied as neutral scorpion-type ligands. The P apex provides a convenient spectroscopic handle. Substitution at the 3-position of the pyrazolyl ring influences the steric demands of the ligand, while substitution at the 5-position enhances the stability. Copper(I) acetonitrile complexes of the OP(pz x) 3 ligands were prepared and tested in ligand exchange reactions with PPh 3 and CO. The v(CO) values of the carbonyl complexes demonstrate the electron-withdrawing properties of the ligands. These observations show that OP(pz x) 3 ligands are an interesting extension of the widely used scorpion-type ligands.
