Abstract
The chemistry of phosphorus(III) ligands, which are of key importance in coordination chemistry, organometallic chemistry and catalysis, is dominated by relatively electron-rich species. Many of the electron-poor PIII ligands that are readily available have relatively small steric profiles. As such, there is a significant gap in "ligand space" where more sterically bulky, electron-poor PIII ligands are needed. This contribution discusses the coordination chemistry, steric and electronic properties of PIII ligands bearing highly fluorinated alkoxide groups of the general form PRn (ORF )3-n , where R=Ph, RF =C(H)(CF3 )2 and C(CF3 )3 ; n=1-3. These ligands are simple to synthesize and a range of experimental and theoretical methods suggest that their steric and electronic properties can be "tuned" by modification of their substituents, making them excellent candidates for large, electron-poor ligands.
