Conversion of a cyclotriphosphazene to a cyclohexaphosphazene by ring expansion.
Deprotonation of a cyclotriphosphazene with a tert-butylamino group in the side chain results in ring expansion to a very stable, planar cyclohexaphosphazene derivative that still contains eight P-Cl bonds suitable for forming macromolecular structures.
