Abstract
Structural investigation of Li-complexes of the phospha(III)guanidinate anion [Ph2PC{NiPr}2]− revealed variable coordination to lithium; synthesis of the dimethyl aluminium compound, (Ph2PC{NiPr}2)AlMe2, which behaves as a metal-functionalised phosphineligand towards platinum, is reported.
