Reactivity of the phosphaethynolate anion with stabilized carbocations: mechanistic studies and synthetic applications.

The reactivity of sodium phosphaethynolate Na(OCP) towards various Mayr's reference electrophiles was investigated using conventional UV-visible and laser-flash photolysis techniques. The kinetic data, along with density functional theory (DFT) calculations, enabled the first experimental quantification of the phosphorus nucleophilicity of [OCP]
