Research has been conducted on the olefin oxidation with molecular oxygen promoted by a thiophenol and a transition metal catalyst. Results indicate that this reaction proceeds at room temperature under one atmosphere of oxygen in the presence of thiophenol and a MnL (sub)2 or VClL (sub)2 catalyst.

The reaction of organophosphorus boranes with amine pentacarbonyltungsten complexes were observed to result into the corresponding chiral and achiral W(CO)5(PR3) complexes in 63-92% yields by a one-step synthesis. This reaction occurs under mild conditions through a ligand exchange between the borane and tungsten complexes. The stereochemistry of the production of pentacarbonyltungsten complexes with tertiary chiral organophosphorus compounds has high stereoselectivity and retention of configuration at the chiral P center.

Research has been conducted on P-chirogenic chlorophosphine boranes. The authors describe the stereoselective synthesis of these compounds carried out via HCl acidolysis of the aminophosphine boranes.

Research has been conducted on chlorophosphines. The authors describe the study of configurational stability of these compounds.
