Abstract

AbstractThis paper presents definitive structural evidence for N,P(III)‐monophosphaamidines in P=C and N=C isomeric forms from a combination of new syntheses, single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (SC‐XRD), solid‐state NMR and FTIR. Evidence is also provided for C‐amino‐(σ23)‐phosphaalkene and C‐(σ33)‐phosphinoimine tautomerism in solution using multi‐nuclear NMR methods. Synthesis and SC‐XRD structure determination of a trisubstituted N,N’,P(III)‐monophosphaguanidine is presented, the first structure of a phospha(III)guanidine with two ionizable H atoms. The structural evidence is convincing for an N=C geometry, resulting in both N−H and P−H in the molecule. A detailed computational investigation using DFT methods is presented, with the goal of understanding the tautomeric structure preferences both at the fundamental level (parent molecules with all substituents on the heteroatoms being hydrogen) and using the full structures containing the very bulky 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl (Dipp) substituents employed in this study. Arguments are espoused for treating phospha(III)amidines and ‐guanidines as new types of functional groups, similar to but distinct from the familiar organic analogues. Limited reactivity studies and a voltammetry study of one phospha(III)amidine are included with the supporting information.
