Sodium phosphaethynolate, Na(OCP), as a “P” transfer reagent for the synthesis of N-heterocyclic carbene supported P₃and PAsP radicals

Abstract

From Na(OCP) as a “P” transfer reagent, the radicals (NHC–P–E–P–NHC) (E = P, As) were synthesized and characterized as donor–acceptor adducts by EPR spectroscopy and DFT computations.
