Ring expansion <i>vs.</i> addition – reactivity of a <i>cyclo</i>-P<sub>4</sub> complex towards pnictogenium cations
Christoph Riesinger, Alexander Erhard, Manfred Scheer
Abstract
ligand displays an interesting borderline case between ring expansion and coordination, while stibenium cations afford addition products. Tuning of the steric and electronic properties of the stibenium ion shows a drastic influence on the reaction outcome.
