摘要:
AbstractProtonation of one of the phosphorus centers of the diphosphene C5Me5P=PC5Me5 triggers a remarkable cascade reaction leading to the direct formation of a C10P2 cage. Calculations suggest that the key mechanistic feature is the proximity of a C=C π‐system to a developing positive charge on one of the phosphorus centers. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
