Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjqwpfmsd" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Loss of substituted phosphine ligands is strongly correlated with the electron donating ability of the phosphorous lone pair. The results indicate that the relative ligand binding energies increase in the order PMe₃ &lt; PPhMe₂ &lt; PPh₂Me &lt; PPh₃ &lt; PPh₂Cy &lt; PPhCy₂ &lt; PCy₃.</p> </abstract>
