Transition metal complexes of phosphine oxides
open-in-new
<p>Transition metal complexes of phosphine oxides are <a href="/facts/Coordination_complex/1tCyeQUm">coordination complex</a> containing one or more <a href="/facts/Phosphine_oxides/Tq9TMtn4">phosphine oxide</a> ligands. Many phosphine oxides exist and most behave as <a href="/facts/HSAB_theory/yguwscxc">hard</a> <a href="/facts/Lewis_base/qlLqRvg2">Lewis bases</a>. Almost invariably, phosphine oxides bind metals by formation of M-O bonds. </p>
