Abstract

The relationship between the proton affinity and ionization potential revealed in the present study indicates that the proton-affinity order is determined by differences in the abilities of the phosphites to assume a positive charge. This conclusion supports previous rationalizations of the basicity order, in which the trend is ascribed to differences in the interaction of the oxygen lone pairs with phosph~ rus.~~~~~~ The repulsive interaction of the phosphorus ...
