Structure and bonding in the isoelectronic series CnHnP5-n+: is phosphorus a carbon copy?
The relative stabilities of different isomers of the isoelectronic series C(n)H(n)P(5-n)(+) have been investigated using G3X theory. The results indicate that all species containing one or more phosphorus atom adopt a three-dimensional nido geometry, in marked contrast to the planar structure favour...
