Abstract

Abstract The chemistry of the novel phospha-alkenes RP [dbnd] CR'2, and phospha- alkynes, RC [tbnd] P, containing 2pπ-3pπ bonds is of current interest. 1, 2 Recent molecular orbital calculations, 3, 4 suggest that the highest occupied molecular orbital in CH2 [dbnd] PH is of the π-type with the phosphorus lone pair ó-orbital only slightly more stable while the π∗ lumo orbital is relatively low lying. We now report He (I) photoelectron spectroscopic ...
