Air- and light-stable electrophilic difluoromethylating reagents, S-(difluoromethyl)- S-phenyl- S-(2,4,6-trialkoxyphenyl) sulfonium salts were successfully developed, and the introduction of intramolecular hydrogen bonds plays a crucial role for the stabilities and reactivities of these reagents. C-selective difluoromethylation of a broad range of β-ketoesters and malonates proceeded smoothly under mild reaction conditions to give good to excellent yields with excellent C/O regioselectivities.

Phosphane, PH -a highly pyrophoric and toxic gas-is frequently contaminated with H and P H , which makes its handling even more dangerous. The inexpensive metal-organic framework (MOF) magnesium formate, α-[Mg(O CH) ], can adsorb up to 10 wt % of PH . The PH -loaded MOF, PH @α-[Mg(O CH) ], is a non-pyrophoric, recoverable material that even allows brief handling in air, thereby minimizing the hazards associated with the handling and transport of phosphane.

In contrast to the stable dinitrogen molecule, white phosphorus (P) and yellow arsenic (As) are very reactive allotropic modifications of these two heavier pnictogen elements, which has greatly hampered the study of their properties and applications. Thus, the safe storage and transport of them is imperative. Supramolecular caged structures are one of the most efficient approaches for the encapsulation and stabilization of reactive species; however, their use in the P and As chemistry is very rare.
