Coordination chemistry of elemental phosphorus

This review comprehensively covers the coordination chemistry of elemental phosphorus during years 2011–2020. The main part is dedicated to activation white mediated by early and late transition metals its subsequent reactivity once in sphere a metal. burgeoning interest towards TMs has opened way new topologies types reactivity. Meanwhile, P4 metal elements also attracted significant attention. Numerous studies have targeted transformations P4-derived ligands release said ligand fragments. final this focuses on black allotrope phosphorus, which offers polydentate surface able interact with forming functionalized 2D materials.
