Abstract

Correction for ‘Increasing steric demand through flexible bulk – primary phosphanes with 2,6-bis(benzhydryl)phenyl backbones’ by Jonas Bresien et al., Dalton Trans., 2019, 48, 3786–3794.

The authors regret that there is an error in the calculated gas-phase acidities in Table 1 of the original paper. All statements in the continuous text remain valid, however the actual values are different. New values (Table 1, vide infra) were obtained using the hybrid DFT functional PBE0 and the cc-pVTZ basis set for C and H atoms and the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set for N, O and P atoms. Atom-pairwise dispersion correction with the Becke–Johnson damping scheme (D3BJ) was used for all computations. Gas-phase acidities for ammonia, water, phosphane and phenylphosphane were added for comparison.

Table 1 Corrected gas-phase acidity values

	Gas-phase acidity/kcal mol⁻¹	Gas-phase pK_a
NH₃	397.63	291.5
H₂O	385.00	282.2
PH₃	358.57	262.8
Ph–PH₂	348.26	255.3
Mes*–PH₂	344.27	252.4
Ter–PH₂	343.01	251.4
^MeBhp–PH₂	341.09	250.0
