title: Calcium-centred phosphine oxide reactivity: P-C metathesis, reduction and P-P coupling.
abstract: Reactions of triphenylphosphine oxide and diphenylphosphine oxide with calcium alkyls and amides in the presence of PhSiH(3) occur to give P-C bond cleavage, P(V) to P(III) reduction and P-P coupling.
