A range of twelve stabilised phosphonium ylides containing tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran or 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane rings have been prepared and fully characterised, including one X-ray structure determination of each type. The X-ray structures confirm the P=C and C=O functions to be syn and all the compounds undergo thermal extrusion of Ph3PO to give the corresponding alkynes. In some cases there is also competing loss of Ph3P to give different carbene-derived products and evidence has been obtained for the generation of 2-phenyloxete in this way. Raising the pyrolysis temperature leads in several cases to new secondary reactions of the alkyne products involving a sequence of alkyne to vinylidene isomerisation, intramolecular CH insertion, and retro Diels Alder reaction.

This study explores the performance and stability of ammonium and phosphonium-based polymeric ionic liquids (PILs) with methyl and butyl substituents in moisture-swing direct air capture of CO. The polymers are synthesized with chloride counterions, followed by ion exchange to the bicarbonate ion, and tests for CO capture capacity and stability under cyclic wet-dry conditions. The phosphonium polymer with methyl substituents [PVBT-MeP] demonstrates the highest CO capture capacity at ≈510 µmol g⁻¹, attributed to minimal steric hindrance and stronger ion pairing with bicarbonate.

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials exhibiting stimuli-responsive photoluminescence have garnered significant attention as promising candidates for advanced anti-counterfeiting and information encryption applications. However, achieving controllable fluorescence quenching through rational molecular design remains a considerable challenge. Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of three novel organic-inorganic hybrid compounds, (ETMP)MnBr (1), (PTMP)MnBr (2) and (ATMP)MnBr (3) (ETMP = ethyl-trimethyl-phosphonium, PTMP = propyl-trimethyl-phosphonium, and ATMP = allyl-trimethyl-phosphonium).

A pure silica zeolite with structure was synthesized using the tricyclopentylmethylphosphonium (CpMP) cation under fluoride media. Analysis of the organic content in the zeolite suggested the presence of more than four cations per unit cell, while fluoride anions were exclusively located in the four double four-membered rings of the structure. Si solid-state NMR demonstrated a significant concentration of Si species, , S̲i̲(OSi)(OH), in the structure, which afforded charge balance but contrasted with the most common observation of defect-free pure silica zeolites prepared in fluoride media at near-neutral pH.

Solid-state lithium (Li) metal batteries (SSLMBs) are considered as one of the most promising next-generation battery technologies due to their high energy density and intrinsic safety. However, interfacial issues such as side reactions and Li dendrite growth severely hinder the practical application of SSLMBs. In this contribution, we proposed a cationic built-in electrostatic field to drive the generation of an anion-derived dual-layered solid electrolyte interphase (SEI).

To realize the robust anion exchange membrane (AEM)-based water splitting modules and fuel cells, the design and synthesis of tetraarylphosphonium (TAP) cations are described as a new class of cationic building blocks that exhibit remarkable alkaline stability under harsh conditions. TAP cations with highly sterically demanding aromatic substituents were efficiently synthesized from triarylphosphine derivatives and highly reactive arynes, whose alkaline degradation proved to be suppressed dramatically by the sterically demanding substituents. In the case of bis(2,5-dimethylphenyl)bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)phosphonium, for example, approximately 60% of the cation survived for 27 d under the forced conditions (i.
