Abstract:This chapter provides an update on the chemistry of hypervalent phosphorus compounds, bringing in concise form advances in their preparation, application and structural properties, which have been published in 2011. A major portion of this research has been devoted to pentacoordinated compounds whereas relatively little has appeared on hexacoordinate chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations –citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
