Ambiphilic geometrically constrained phosphenium cation†
Abstract
In this work the synthesis of a geometrically constrained phosphenium cation is shown. In contrast to previously reported phosphenium cations, the geometrical constriction of the P-center in this cation makes it ambiphilic and reactive towards small molecules such as H2O, ROH and NH3.
