Key Points

To explore the coordination chemistry of pyridyl-functionalized phosphinines with copper and gold.
Synthesis of 2,6-trimethylsilyl-3,5-(2'-pyridyl)phosphinine
Investigation of binding with Cu(I) and Au(I)
Evaluation of binding modes through phosphorus and pyridyl groups.
Observed selective binding to Cu(I) and Au(I)
Demonstrated coordination through both phosphorus atom and pendant pyridyl groups.

Implication

Novel phosphinine shows selective coordination with Cu(I) and Au(I), indicating diverse binding modes including the phosphorus atom.

Abstract

The novel 2,6-trimethylsilyl-3,5-(2′-pyridyl)phosphinine has been synthesized and its coordination chemistry with Cu(I) and Au(I) was investigated. Selective binding through either the phosphorus atom or the pendant pyridyl groups was achieved,...
