Evidence for a SN2-type pathway for phosphine exchange in phosphine-phosphenium cations, [R2P--PR'3]+.

Abstraction of a Cl(-) ion from the P-chlorophospholes, R4C4PCl (R=Me, Et), produced the P--P bonded cations [R4C4P--P(Cl)C4R4]+, which reacted with PPh3 to afford X-ray crystallographically characterised phosphine-phosphenium cations [R4C4P(PPh3)]+ (R=Me, Et). Examination of the 31P-{1H} NMR spectr...
