WATER-SOLUBLE, ZERO-VALENT, PLATINUM-P(CH2OH)3 PALLADIUM-P(CH2OH)3 AND NICKEL-P(CH2OH)3 COMPLEXES - CATALYSTS FOR THE ADDITION OF PH3 TO CH2O

The phosphine P(CH2OH)3 forms water soluble complexes of the type[M{P(CH2OH)3}4] (M = pt, Pd, or Ni) which are catalysts for the addition of PH3 to CH2O and the Pt complex is readily protonated by water;the crystal structure of the Pd complex is also described.
