Diphosphane
Diphosphane, or diphosphine, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula . This colourless liquid is one of several binary phosphorus hydrides. It is the impurity that typically causes samples of phosphine to ignite in air. Properties, preparation, reactions Diphosphane adopts the gauche conformation (like hydrazine, less symmetrical than shown in the image) with a P−P distance of 2.219 angstroms. It is nonbasic, unstable at room temperature, and spontaneously flammable in air. It is only poorly soluble in water but dissolves in organic solvents. Its 1H NMR spectrum consists of 32 lines resulting from an A2XX'A'2 splitting system. Diphosphane is produced by the hydrolysis of calcium monophosphide, which can be described as the Ca2+ derivative of . According to an optimized procedure, hydrolysis of 400 g of CaP at −30 °C gives about 20 g of product, slightly contaminated with phosphine. Reaction of diphosphane with butyllithium affords a variety of condensed p ...

Phosphorus Hydrides
Phosphorus is a chemical element; it has symbol P and atomic number 15. All elemental forms of phosphorus are highly reactive and are therefore never found in nature. They can nevertheless be prepared artificially, the two most common allotropes being white phosphorus and red phosphorus. With as its only stable isotope, phosphorus has an occurrence in Earth's crust of about 0.1%, generally as phosphate rock. A member of the pnictogen family, phosphorus readily forms a wide variety of organic and inorganic compounds, with as its main oxidation states +5, +3 and −3. The isolation of white phosphorus in 1669 by Hennig Brand marked the scientific community's first discovery since Antiquity of an element. The name phosphorus is a reference to the god of the Morning star in Greek mythology, inspired by the faint glow of white phosphorus when exposed to oxygen. This property is also at the origin of the term ''phosphorescence'', meaning glow after illumination, although white ...

Diphosphines
Diphosphines, sometimes called bisphosphanes, are organophosphorus compounds most commonly used as bidentate phosphine ligand, phosphine ligands in inorganic chemistry, inorganic and organometallic chemistry. They are identified by the presence of two phosphino groups linked by a backbone, and are usually chelate, chelating. A wide variety of diphosphines have been synthesized with different linkers and R-groups. Alteration of the linker and R-groups alters the electronic and steric properties of the ligands which can result in different coordination geometries and catalytic behavior in Homogeneous catalysis, homogeneous catalysts. Synthesis image:IPr2PCl.png, 220px, Chlorodiisopropylphosphine is a popular building block for the preparation of diphosphines. From phosphide building blocks Many widely used diphosphine ligands have the general formula Ar2P(CH2)nPAr2.

Diphosphenes
Diphosphene is a type of organophosphorus compound that has a phosphorus–phosphorus double bond, denoted by R-P=P-R'. These compounds are not common, but their properties have theoretical chemistry, theoretical importance. Normally, compounds with the empirical formula RP exist as rings.  However, like other multiple bonds between heavy main-group elements, P=P double bonds can be stabilized by large steric effects, steric hindrance. In general, diphosphenes react like Alkene, alkenes. History In 1877, Köhler and Michaelis claimed what would have been the first isolated diphosphene (PhP=PPh), The structure of Köhler and Michaelis' product was later revised. and X-ray crystallographic analysis proved that this "diphosphene" only had P-P single bonds and was in fact primarily a four-membered ring of the form (PPh)4. The isolation of phosphorus ylide and phosphaalkenes suggested that compounds with P=P bonds could be made. Yoshifuji ''et al'''s isolated a sterically ...

Diphosphorus Tetrabromide
Diphosphorus is an inorganic chemical with the chemical formula . Unlike nitrogen, its lighter pnictogen neighbor which forms a stable N2 molecule with a nitrogen to nitrogen triple bond, phosphorus prefers a tetrahedral form P4 because P-P pi-bonds are high in energy. Diphosphorus is, therefore, very reactive with a bond-dissociation energy (117 kcal/ mol or 490 kJ/mol) half that of dinitrogen. The bond distance has been measured at 1.8934 Å. Synthesis Diphosphorus has been generated by heating white phosphorus at 1100 kelvins (827 °C). Nevertheless, some advancements have been obtained in generating the diatomic molecule in homogeneous solution under normal conditions with the use of some transition metal complexes (based on, for example, tungsten and niobium). Methods for dissociation of bonds in P4 molecules via photoexcitation were also proposed. The molecule attracted attention in 2006, when a new method for its synthesis at milder temperatures emerged. This method is ...

Pnictogen Hydride
Pnictogen hydrides or hydrogen pnictides are binary compounds of hydrogen with pnictogen ( or ; from "to choke" and -gen, "generator") atoms (elements of group 15: nitrogen, phosphorus, arsenic, antimony, bismuth, and moscovium) covalently bonded to hydrogen. Pnictogen trihydrides The simplest series has the chemical formula XH3 (less commonly H3X), with X representing any of the pnictogens. They take on the pyramidal structure (as opposed to the trigonal planar arrangement of the group 13 hydrides), and therefore are polar. These pnictogen trihydrides are generally increasingly unstable and poisonous with heavier elements. Some properties of the pnictogen trihydrides follow: These gases have no smell in pure form, instead gaining it when in contact with air. Ammonia has an infamous, intense odour resembling urine and/or fish, commonly the result of the decomposition of urea. Phosphine smells like fish or garlic, and stibine like rotten eggs, similar to hydrogen sulfide a ...

Calcium Monophosphide
Calcium monophosphide is the inorganic compound with the formula CaP. It is sometimes also known as "calcium phosphide", which also describes a different compound with composition Ca3P2. Calcium monophosphide is a black solid. Structure and properties The structures of CaP and sodium peroxide (Na2O2) are very similar. The solid is described as a salt: (Ca2+)2P24−, or Ca2P2. Since the bonding is ionic, the diphosphide centers carry negative charge and are easily protonated. Upon hydrolysis this material releases diphosphine (P2H4): :Ca2P2 + 4 H2O → 2 Ca(OH)2 + P2H4 The hydrolyses of CaP and calcium carbide Calcium carbide, also known as calcium acetylide, is a chemical compound with the chemical formula of .
