The Chemistry of Organophosphorus Compounds: Ter- And Quinque-Valent Phosphorous Acids and Their Derivatives (Vol. 4)

There are four volumes in this series on organophosphorus chemistry, a sub-series of Saul Patai's Chemistry of Functional Groups series. Together the volumes provide comprehensive coverage of the entire organophosphorus area, which is critical to main-line organic chemistry in both academic and industrial circles. The general format of the material on organophosphorus chemistry follows that of the volumes in the Patai series, with commissioned chapters on the theoretical/structural aspects, stereochemistry, synthesis, photochemistry, spectroscopy and biochemistry.

Primary, secondary, and tertiary phosphines, polyphosphines, and heterocyclic organophosphorus (III) compounds v. 2. Phosphine oxides, sulphides, selenides, and tellurides v. 3. Phosphonium salts, ylides, and phosphoranes v. 4. Ter- and quinque-valent phosphorus acids and their derivatives. Part of a series dealing with organophosphorus compounds, this volume covers the chemical and physical properties exhibited by phosphine oxides, sulphides, selenides and tellurides. It covers electrochemistry, photochemistry, structure and bonding, stereochemistry and chemical reactions. This fourth and final volume in a mini-series devoted to organophosphorus compounds discusses these key elements in terms of their reactivity, synthetic, analytical and physical properties.
