"Naked" phosphanediide chains and their fragmentation into diphosphene radical anions.

Encapsulation of the Na+ ions of the [Na2(P 4R4)] ion triple with a R,R or S,S configuration at the inner phosphorus atoms by cryptands has enabled cation-separated dianions to be obtained in a crystalline form. Fragmentation of the {Na([2.2.2]cryptand)} 2(P4R4) into radical anions (P 2R2).- occurs...
