ChemInform Abstract: Reactivity and Polymerization Behavior of a Pentachlorocyclocarbophosphazene, N3P2CCl5

The cyclic carbophosphazene N 3 P 2 CCl 5 reacts with sodium methoxide, sodium trifluoroethoxide, and sodium phenoxide to yield the corresponding pentaalkoxy- and pentakis(aryloxy)cyclocarbophosphazenes. By contrast, N 3 P 2 CCl 5 does not react with the main group and transition metal nucleophiles lithium diphenylphosphide and lithium pentacarbonylmanganate and reacts incompletely with sodium dicarbonyl(η 5 -2,4-cyclopentadien-1-yl)ferrate
