Abstract

In the reaction of F2PBr, F2P (O) Br,(C6F5) 2PBr,(CH3) 2P (S) Br, and (CH3) 2P (O) Cl with silver hyponitrite (AgON NOAg), nitrous oxide (N2O) and μ-oxo phosphorus species were obtained in all cases rather than the plausible hyponitrite alternative. Theoretical calculations of the geometries and expected decomposition pathways of the phosphorus- containing hypothetical hyponitrites were carried out at the B3LYP/6-311+ G (2df)//B3LYP/ ...
