Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 1999 Mar 15;38(6):829-831. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1521-3773(19990315)38:6<829::AID-ANIE829>3.0.CO;2-F.

Abstract

The cyclotrimethylenetriphosphinic acid (1), isoelectronic to the cyclotriphosphoric acid, is formed in the hydrolysis of 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexakis(dimethylamino)-1λ5 ,3λ5 ,5λ5 -[1,3,5]triphosphinine. Compound 1 is stable to acids and bases. On heating for a longer period of time in D2 O each of the three methylene groups is monodeuterated.
