Hammett Reaction Constant for a Terminal Methoxyphosphinidene Complex - Absence of Ambiphilicity
The Hammett reaction constant rho(+) has been determined for the styrene addition of MeO-P-W(CO)(5), as generated from the appropriate 7-phosphanorbornadiene complex. The phosphinidene reactivity is evaluated and compared with that of the ambiphilic MeO-C-Cl carbene.
