The formation of co-ordination compounds of (CH 3 ) 3 P, (CH 3 ) 2 PCF 3 , CH 3 P(CF 3 ) 2 , and P(CF 3 ) 3 , with boron trifluoride and platinum (II) chloride has been studied. The properties of the new compounds (CH 3 ) 2 PCF 3 .BF 3 , [(CH 3 ) 2 PCF 3 ] 2 PtCl 2 , [CH 3 P(CF 3 ) 2 ] 2 PtCl 2 are described, and it is hence concluded that the stabilities of the boron trifluoride compounds decrease in the order.[Formula: see text]while for the platinum (II) complexes the order of stability is[Formula: see text]These two orders are related to the electronegativity of the trifluoromethyl group and its influence on the bonding properties of the phosphorus atoms.
