Abstract
In this review, the synthesis, reactivity and properties of linear and cyclic oligophosphanides are described. Specifically the structures and versatile reactivity of the anionic ligands (P4R4)2− (R = But, Ph, Mes), (P4HR4)− (R = Ph and Mes) and cyclo-(P5But4)− towards main group and transition metal complexes is elucidated. In addition, potential application of metal oligophosphanides as precursors for the preparation of metal phosphides is also briefly discussed.
