This review comprehensively covers the coordination chemistry of elemental phosphorus
during the years 2011–2020. The main part is dedicated to the activation of white …

Recently there has been great interest in the reactivity of transition‐metal (TM) centers
towards white phosphorus (P4). This has ultimately been motivated by a desire to find TM …

Organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) have gained tremendous interest in the past
decades due to their wide applications ranging from synthetic chemistry to materials and …

The generation and handling of the light-sensitive and metastable yellow arsenic (As4) is
extremely challenging. In view of recent breakthroughs in synthesizing As4 storage …

Research on chlorine‐free conversions of P4 into organophosphorus compounds (OPCs)
has a long track record, but methods that allow desirable, direct P− C bond formations have …

A convenient synthetic route to Ga-stabilized pnictogen-centered radicals and
gallapnictenes by manipulation of pnictogen–carbon bond strengths is presented. Two …

While rich chemistry of phospholyl anions is discovered, phosphafluorenyl anions are only
proposed as the critical intermediates for the synthesis of phosphafluorenes. In this article …

Transition‐metal mediated white phosphorus activation is of high interest as an ecological
alternative to P4 chlorination pathway to the practically useful phosphorus products. Herein …

Abstract The [3+ 1] fragmentation reaction of rare‐earth metallacyclopentadienes 1 a–c with
0.5 equivalents of P4 affords a series of rare‐earth metal cyclo‐P3 complexes 2 a–c and a …

Two equivalents of LGa (L= HC [C (Me) N (2, 6‐iPr2C6H3)] 2) reacted with PX3 (X= Cl, Br)
with insertion into two P− X bonds and formation of [L (X) Ga] 2PX (X= Cl 1, Br 2), whereas …
