Two known and four new bis(phosphano)alkanes (CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/P(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/, n = 1-3; ((CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/PCR(CH/sub 3/)P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/, R = H, CH/sub 3/; (CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/P(CF/sub 2/)/sub 2/P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/) have been prepared in good yield by an improved procedure. PtCl/sub 2/ and Mo(CO)/sub 4/ complexes of these highly ..pi..-acidic ligands have been prepared by standard routes. Thus, displacement of benzonitrile from (PtCl/sub 2/(PhCN)/sub 2/) affords (PtCl/sub 2/LL)(LL = (CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/P(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/, n = 2,3; LL = (CF/sub 3/)PCR(CH/sub 3/)P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/, R = H, CH/sub 3/; LL = (CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/P(CF/sub 2/)/sub 2/P(P)(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/). Similarly, piperidine is displaced from cis-(Mo(CO)/sub 4/(piperidine)/sub 2/) to give (Mo(CO)/sub 4/(LL)), (LL = (CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/P(CH/sub 2/)/sub n/P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/, n = 2,3; LL = (CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/P(CF/sub 2/)/sub 2/P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/). Self-dehydrochlorination of (PtCl/sub 2/((CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/PCH(CH/sub 3/)P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/)) in the solid state at 150/degrees/C gives the complex (Pt/sub 2/(..mu..-Cl)/sub 2/((CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/PC(CH/sub 3/)P(CF/sub 3/)/sub 2/)/sub 2/) (34), shown by single-crystal X-ray crystallography to contain two chelating bis(phosphano)methanide ligands. The crystal parameters of 84 are reported. 47 references, 4 figures, 8 tables.
