Abstract

Frustrated carbene-borane Lewis pairs are able to affect the selective cleavage of one of the six P–P bonds in white phosphorus (P4) to afford an adduct, in which an abnormal carbene of the imidazolium-4-yl type and B(C6F5)3 are bound in a trans,trans fashion to a butterfly-like bicyclo[1.1.0]tetraphosphabutane moiety.
