Abstract

A potential single-source precursor for semiconducting cadmium phosphide phases, the title complex is prepared by nucleophilic substitution of [Cd{N(SiMe3)2}2] with Ph2PLi. The adamantanoid core of the dianion (shown on the right) contains four Cd centers and six bridging phosphido ligands; four terminal phosphides complete the coordination spheres of the Cd atoms. (For clarity the substituents on phosphorus have been omitted.)
