Abstract
The cage compound [DippP5 Cl][GaCl4 ] (Dipp=2,6-diisopropylphenyl) reacts with an NHC (N-heterocyclic carbene) by an unprecedented [3+2] fragmentation of the P5 (+) core. This yields an imidazoliumyl-substituted P3 species featuring a triphosphaallyl anion motif and a neutral P2 compound. The mechanism of the fragmentation reaction was elucidated by means of experimental and quantum chemical methods.Entities:
