Abstract

This review aims to highlight the recent developments in the chemistry of selected imidazoliumyl-substituted phosphorus compounds. The synthetic approaches for their preparation with phosphorus in various oxidation states and coordination environments are discussed. Their intriguing properties and versatile chemistry strongly depends on the bonding motif at the P atoms, which is given special focus.

Keywords: N-heterocyclic carbenes; coordination chemistry; imidazoliumyl substituents; phosphorus; phosphorus-centered cations.
