This poster describes zerovalent group VI metal chemistry of the anionic bidentate phosphine bis(diphenylphosphinomethyl)diphenylborate. The enhanced donation afforded by this ligand relative to classic neutral bidentate phosphines promises to stablize complexes containing auxillary ligands that would normally be susceptible to facile dissociation or attack by nucleophiles. In particular this poster will describe attempts to synthesize group VI metal complexes containing sulfenes and beta-amino-substituted isocyanides, respectively. Synthetic details and single crystal X-ray crystallographic characterizations for the complexes isolated while in pursuit of these goals will be provided.
