The 4,5,6-triphospha[3]radialene dianion: a phosphorus analogue of the deltate dianion. A NICS(0)πzz examination of their aromaticity

Abstract

Reduction of a 4,5,6-triphospha[3]radialene gave the corresponding isolable dianionic species. Despite having two deltate dianion-like π-electrons delocalized over the central framework, its small NICS(0)πzz value (only –2.2 ppm) indicates only limited aromaticity.
