Notes:
The reactions of alkyldichlorophosphanes 1 (RPCl2; R = tert-butyl: 1a, R = isopropyl; 1b, R = 1-adamantyl: 1c) with the germanium dichloride dioxane complex were followed by 31P NMR. Depending on the organic substituents and the reaction conditions, mixtures of trichlorogermylphosphanes RP(GeCl3)2 4a-c, RPHGeCl3 5a-c, diphosphanes R(H)PP(H)GeCl3 6a-c, R(Cl)PP(H)GeCl3 7a, b cyclophosphanes, and Ge-P heterocycles such as triphosphadigermolanes (RP)3(GeCl2)2 8a, b and tetraphosphagermolane (RP)4)GeCl2 10b are formed. As a further unexpected byproduct of the reaction of 1a with GeCl2-dioxane, a small amount of tri-tert-butyl(trichlorogermyl)cyclotetraphosphane 9a was isolated. From the reaction of 1c with two equivalents of GeCl2-dioxane, separation from byproducts 5c and 6c by crystallisation furnished colourless crystals of 4c (R = 1-adamantyl) as the first pure organylbis(trichlorogermyl)phosphane. Surprisingly, the reaction of isoprophylphosphane with germanium tetrachloride, intended to prepare 5a, led to crystalline isopropylphosphonium trichlorogermanate(II) 11. The structures of molecular 4c and 9a and ionic 11 were determined by X-ray crystallography.
