Ambiphile Tripod‐Komplexe: Synthese und Komplexchemie langkettiger funktionalisierter Tripod‐Liganden RC(CH2PPh2)3 mit R = Pentyl oder 8‐Nonenyl

Ambiphilic Tripod Complexes: Synthesis and Coordination Chemistry of Long‐Chained Functionalized Tripod Ligands RC(CH2PPh2)3 with R ‐ Pentyl or 8‐Nonenyl Tripod ligands RC(CH2PPh2)3 with R = pentyl (3a) and R = 8‐nonenyl (3b) are accessible from the corresponding triols. By using appropriately selected activation procedures the triols 1a, b are transformed into the tripodal ligands 3a, b. In addition to their direct characterisation the tripod ligands 3a, b have been further structurally analysed by the syntheses and X‐ray analyses of specific cobalt (4a) and iron (4b) coordination compounds. An interesting side result from the X‐ray analysis of [(3b)Fe(NCCH3)3](BF4)2 (4b) is the organisation of its solid‐state structure by the hydrophobic 8‐nonenyl substituents in the ligand backbone.
