Electron donor and acceptor properties of trimethylphosphine, triphenylphosphine, and related ligands with transition metals by photoelectron spectroscopy.

Gas-phase photoelectron spectroscopy is used to evaluate the a-donation and 1t-acceptance abilities of a series of Group 15 ligands. The free ligands PMe(3-n)Ph(n) (n=0-3), EMe₃ (E=As) and EPh₃ (E=As, Sb, Bi) are examined (Me=CH₃, Ph=C₆H₅) and the trends in lone pair ionizations are discussed. Organ...
