2-Thia-1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane 2,2-Dioxide (PASO2). Comparative Structural and Reactivity Investigation with the Water-Soluble Phosphine Ligand 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane (PTA) Donald J. Darensbourg,* Jason C. Yarbrough, and Samuel J.

The derivative 2-thia-1,3,5-triaza-phosphaadamantane 2,2-dioxide (PASO2) has been characterized by spectroscopy and by X-ray crystallography. Unlike its PTA (1,3,5-triaza7-phosphaadamantane) analogue, replacement of a -CH2- unit in PTA with -SO2- renders PASO2 largely insoluble in water at ambient temperature (
