Carbene Complexes of Phosphorus(V) Fluorides by Oxidative Addition of 2,2-Difluorobis(dialkylamines) to Phosphorus(III) Halides

Carbene-stabilized complexes of substituted and unsubstituted phosphorus­(V) fluorides were obtained by oxidative addition of 2,2-difluorobis­(dialkylamines) to phosphorus­(III) halides. Octahedral and hydrolytically stable complexes were obtained in quantitative yields. All compounds were characterized in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
