Homoatomic P --> P coordination: a versatile synthetic approach to polyphosphorus dications.
Polyphosphorus dications have been synthesised and comprehensively characterised as diphosphine (dppe, dmpe and dpph) linked Ar2P+ Lewis acids (Ar = C6H5); this application of unique homoatomic coordination chemistry provides important building blocks for extended systems.
