Chemistry of Boratophosphazenes: Synthesis of Borazine-Phosphazene Hybrid Cations, and New Inorganic Heterocycles by Skeletal Substitution Reactions

Abstract

Unusual skeletal substitution reactions (such as the example shown right) are characteristic of the reactivity of cyclic borataphosphazenes towards halide abstraction agents with counterions such as [BF4]−, [AsF6]−, and [SbF6]−. In other cases ([AlCl4]− and [GaCl4]−) stable borazine–phosphazene hybrid rings are formed.
