Phosphorus fluoride exchange: Multidimensional catalytic click chemistry from phosphorus connective hubs

Catalytic decomposition of phosphorus compounds to produce phosphorus atoms

Redox chemistry in the phosphorus biogeochemical cycle.

The element phosphorus (P) controls growth in many ecosystems as the limiting nutrient, where it is broadly considered to reside as pentavalent P in phosphate minerals and organic esters. Exceptions to pentavalent P include phosphine--PH3--a trace atmospheric gas, and phosphite and hypophosphite, P anions that have been detected recently in lightning strikes, eutrophic lakes, geothermal springs...

Ionic liquids--media for unique phosphorus chemistry.

Ionic liquids have been shown to offer hitherto unseen control as both a storage solvent for PCl3 and POCl3 and reaction media for fluorination and mixed anhydride formation under benign conditions.

New Trends in Hexacoordinated Phosphorus Chemistry

Phosphorus derivatives with six substituents at the immediate periphery of the heteroatom are quite common,more than usually imagined, and this review presents some of the novel structures that have been reported in the last 5–10 years.Many derivatives of varied charge and geometry have been synthesized in studies devoted to phosphorus reactivity. A large number of compounds have also been prep...

Chemistry of Phosphorus Compounds: Options Are Endless

One of the research projects is concerned with the four-membered saturated inorganic ring system called cylcodiphosphazanes, which essen ally act as monoor bidentate ligands toward transi on metals. Deriva ves of cyclodiphosphazanes containing oxygen, sulphur, phosphorous or nitrogendonor-func onali es have shown versa le coordina on behaviour, resul ng in simple mononuclear to tri-, tetraor po...
