Abstract

Reaction of carbene-stabilized diphosphorus, L:P–P:L (L: = :C{N(2,6-Prⁱ₂C₆H₃)CH}₂, 1), with excess BH₃·THF affords the boronium salt [L:P(μ-BH₂)P:L]⁺[B₂H₇]⁻, 2, which contains a three-membered P₂B ring. When 2 is dissolved in THF, compounds 1 and 2 exist in a dynamic solution equilibrium.
