%X The reaction of C6H5P(S)(NMe2)2 (2) with BuLi in diethyl ether/hexane mixture gives the ortho-metallated species o-LiC6H4P(S)(NMe2)2 (3), which has been characterized by 31P and 13C n.m.r . spectroscopy, and by preparation of the derivatives R{o-C6H4P(S)(NMe2)2}n (where R = Me3Si or Ph2P, n = 1; R = PhP , n = 2; R = P, n = 3). A single-crystal X-ray structure determination of one derivative, phosphinetriyltris (N,N,N&#8242;,N&#8242;- tetramethyl-o-phenylenephosphonothioic diamide ), P{o-C6H4P(S)(NMe2)2}3 (6), is reported.
