The bismuth phosphanides Bi(PR 2 ) 3 : sources of phosphanyl radicals, P-inversion, and reversible olefin insertion

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: ] (R, R' = alkyl). The ability of these compounds to release phosphanyl radicals under mild conditions is demonstrated, revealing an unprecedented radical pathway for the inversion of phosphorus atoms, enabling ethylene activation, and facilitating reversible olefin insertion into Bi-P bonds.
