The oxidation of triphenylphosphine by perfluorinated phenaziniumF aluminate in difluorobenzene affords hexaaryl-1,2-diphosphonium dialuminate 1. Dication 12+ is valence isoelectronic with elusive hexaphenylethane, where instead the formation a mixture trityl radical and Gomberg's dimer favored. Quantum-chemical calculations combination Raman/IR spectroscopies rationalize stability P-P bonded suggest, akin to halogens, facile homolytic as well heterolytic scission. Thus, serves surrogate both triphenylphosphorandiylium dication (Ph3P2+) monocation (Ph3P·+). Treating 1 dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) or tBu3P replaces under bond Qualifying superoxidant (E vs Fc/Fc+ = +1.44 V), oxidizes trimethylphosphine. Based on halide abstraction experiments (-BF4, -PF6, -SbCl6, -SbF6) deoxygenation triethylphosphine oxide, triflate anions toluic acid, also features Lewis superacidity. controlled hydrolysis Hendrickson's reagent, which itself finds broad use dehydration agent. Formally, scission occurs diphenyldisulfide (PhSSPh) triple bonds benzo- acetonitrile. irradiation light cleaves homolytically generates transient cations, engage H-atom CH phosphoranylation.
