Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the reactivity of 4-membered rings containing phosphorus in the +3 oxidation state, specifically with chalcogens like sulfur and selenium.
- These 4-membered rings can expand into more stable 6-membered rings upon reaction with a Lewis base, and different mechanisms for this transformation were explored using both experiments and computational methods.
- Both the 4-membered and 6-membered rings interact with coinage metals, leading to products that feature the phosphorus atom coordinating to the metal in a tripodal arrangement.
Four-membered rings with a P Ch core (Ch=S, Se) and phosphorus in the +3 oxidation state have been synthesized. The utility of these rings as a source of monomeric phosphinidene chalcogenides was probed by the addition of an N-heterocyclic carbene, resulting in a base-stabilized phosphinidene sulfide. Similarly, persistence of the phosphinidene selenide in solution was shown through cycloaddition chemistry with 2,3-dimethylbutadiene at elevated temperatures.
