pubmed-article:12744334 | pubmed:abstractText | The tetraphosphides (tBu3Si)3P4M3 (M = Li, Na) and (tBu2PhSi)3P4Na3 have been synthesized in high yield from the reaction of 3 equivalents of the silanides tBu3SiM (M = Li, Na) and tBu2PhSiNa with P4 in benzene. (tBu3Si)3P4M3 (M = Li, Na) are transformed into the unsaturated triphosphides (tBu3Si)2P3M (M = Li, Na) and tBu3SiPM2 in tetrahydrofuran at ambient temperature. | lld:pubmed |
