Abstract
Recent progress in the chemistry of Ï-conjugated phosphasilenes stabilized by bulky protecting groups based on a fused-ring octa-R-substituted s-hydrindacene skeleton (Rind groups) is reviewed. The phosphasilenes with a variety of aryl substituents at the silicon atom are covered in detail. The X-ray crystallography analysis showed the highly coplanar Ï-framework reinforced by the perpendicularly-fixed Rind groups. Strong Ï-Ï* absorptions have been observed, demonstrating the extension of Ï-conjugation over the skeleton. The DFT calculations indicated that the LUMO involves significant contribution by the 3pÏ*(Si-P)-2pÏ*(carbon Ï-electron system) conjugation. The preparation of the gold(I) complexes of the Ï-conjugated phosphasilenes is also included.
