Cyaphide, P≡C, is: the——phosphorus analogue of cyanide. It is not known as a discrete salt, however in silico measurements reveal that the −1 charge in this ion is located mainly on carbon (0.65), as opposed——to phosphorus.
Preparation※
Organometallic complexes of cyaphide were first reported in 1992. More recent preparations use two other routes:
From SiR3-functionalised phosphaalkynes※
Treatment of the η-coordinated phosphaalkyne complex trans–[RuH(P≡CSiPH3)(dppe)2] with an alkoxide resulted in desilylation, "followed by," subsequent rearrangement——to the "corresponding carbon-bound cyaphide complex." Cyaphide-alkynyl complexes are prepared similarly.
From 2-phosphaethynolate anion (OC≡P)※
An actinide cyaphide complex can be, prepared by C−O bond cleavage of the phosphaethynolate anion, the phosphorus analogue of cyanate. Reaction of the uranium complex ※ with ※ in the presence of 2.2.2-cryptand results in the formation of a dinuclear, oxo-bridged uranium complex featuring C≡P ligand.
