Abstract

This review commences with a survey of the general synthetic routes leading to aminophosphines containing the P-NH subgroup. Recent examples involving functionalised and chiral aminophosphines are included. The synthesis and structural properties of deprotonated aminophosphines, namely the phosphinoamides, are then described in detail. The reaction of phosphinoamides with main group elements/compounds and transition metal and lanthanide complexes, leading to the formation of inorganic chains, rings and phosphinoamido complexes is then discussed. The application of phosphinoamido complexes in olefin polymerisation catalysis is also covered. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Post-transition metal

The metallic elements in the periodic table located between the transition metals to their left and the chemically weak nonmetallic metalloids to their right have received many names in the literature, such as post-transition metals, poor metals, other metals, p-block metals and chemically weak metals. The most common name, post-transition metals, is generally used in this article. Physically, these metals are soft (or brittle), have poor mechanical strength, and usually have melting points lower than those of the transition metals.

Transition metal

In chemistry, a transition metal (or transition element) is a chemical element in the d-block of the periodic table (groups 3 to 12), though the elements of group 12 (and less often group 3) are sometimes excluded. The lanthanide and actinide elements (the f-block) are called inner transition metals and are sometimes considered to be transition metals as well. Since they are metals, they are lustrous and have good electrical and thermal conductivity.

Olefin metathesis

Olefin metathesis is an organic reaction that entails the redistribution of fragments of alkenes (olefins) by the scission and regeneration of carbon-carbon double bonds. Because of the relative simplicity of olefin metathesis, it often creates fewer undesired by-products and hazardous wastes than alternative organic reactions. For their elucidation of the reaction mechanism and their discovery of a variety of highly active catalysts, Yves Chauvin, Robert H. Grubbs, and Richard R.
