Abstract
In all likelihood the first synthesis of the phosphaethynolate anion, PCO- , was performed in 1894 when NaPH2 was reacted with CO in an attempt to make Na(CP) accompanied by elimination of water. This reaction was repeated 117 years later when it was discovered that Na(OCP) and H2 are the products of this remarkable transformation. Li(OCP) was synthesized and fully characterized in 1992 but this salt proved to be too unstable to allow for a detailed investigation of its chemistry. It was not until the heavier analogues of this lithium salt were isolated, Na(OCP) and K(OCP) (both of which are remarkably stable and can be even dissolved in water), that the chemistry of this new functional group could be explored. Here we review the chemistry of the 2-phosphaethynolate anion, a heavier phosphorus-containing analogue of the cyanate anion, and describe the wide breadth of chemical transformations for which it has been thus far employed. Its use as a ligand, in decarbonylative and deoxygenative processes, and as a building block for novel heterocycles is described. In the mere twenty-six years since Becker first reported the isolation of this remarkable anion, it has become a fascinating reagent for the synthesis of a vast library of, often unprecedented, molecules and compounds.

Abstract
Over the course of the last six years, research on the synthesis and reactivity of molecular metal phosphaketenes (M-PCO) has gained increasing attention. However, lanthanide complexes of the heavier group 15 cyanate analogue PCO- have not been investigated so far. Herein we present exemplar studies on the nature and reactivity of rare-earth phosphaethynolato-complexes using three characteristic representatives of the rare-earth metals: Y, Nd and Sm. Our investigations comprise both +2 and +3 redox states, and one defined amidinate-based ligand set, as well as novel reaction pathways in the presence of the sequestering agents 18-crown-6 and 2,2,2-crypt.

Abstract
This paper demonstrates the use of phosphinecarboxamide as a facile phosphorus precursor, which can be used alongside zinc acetate for the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of adherent and crystalline zinc phosphide films. Thin films of Zn3P2 have a number of potential applications and phosphinecarboxamide is a safer and more efficient precursor than the highly toxic, corrosive and flammable phosphine used in previous CVD syntheses.

Abstract
The synthesis of a novel heterocubane [RSnE]4 was successful for E = As, while for E = P differing behaviour was observed. Aryl-substituted chlorostannylenes were treated with salts of heavy cyanate homologues PCO- and AsCO-. The reaction with AsCO- salts afforded primarily [TerSnAs]4 (Ter = 2,6-dimesitylphenyl). In contrast, the reaction of TerSnCl with NaPCO proceeded considerably less cleanly affording a mixture of products. The main product was putatively a neutral [Ter4Sn4P4] compound, however, it is not a cubane. A variety of by-products of this reaction could be characterised crystallographically.

Abstract
The use of bulky aryl(silyl)amides (R) as substituents for the stabilisation of phospha-germynes and phospha-stannynes (R-Ge≡P and R-Sn≡P, respectively) is described. Such species can be transiently generated by photolysis of the phosphaketene precursors (RE(PCO); E=Ge, Sn). Utilisation of bulky amides R1 and R2 (R1 =Ar**NSi(OtBu)3 , where Ar**=2,6-bis[bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)methyl]-4-methylphenyl; R2 =Ar***NSi(iPr)3 , where Ar***=2,6-bis[bis(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)methyl]-4-methylphenyl) facilitates the formation of diphosphene-type dimers, [(RGe)P]2 and [(RSn)P]2 . In an effort to circumvent dimerisation, the bulkier R3 substituent (R3 =Ar***NSi(4-tert-butylphenyl)3 ) was employed in an analogous series of experiments. This affords cyclic germylenes and stannylenes due to insertion of the terminal phosphide into Si-C bonds of the R3 substituent, which in case of the stannylene could act as a trap for another R3 -Sn≡P moiety. All attempts to isolate terminal phosphide species were unsuccessful due to the reactivity of such compounds towards the organic periphery of the bulky amides, highlighting the limitations of highly sterically demanding functionalities.

Abstract
The reactivity of a geometrically constrained phosphorus(III) complex bearing the N,N-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-phenolate)amide pincer ligand (P(ONO); 1) towards oxidants and reductants is explored. This compound can be readily oxidized to the phosphorus(V) dihalo-derivatives P(ONO)X2 where X=Cl (2), Br (3) and I (4). Attempts at isolating the analogous difluoride through oxidation of 1 were unsuccessful yielding only the hydrofluoride P(ONO)(H)F (5), however P(ONO)F2 (6) can be accessed via a halide exchange reaction of 2 with KF. Compound 2 can be employed as a precursor to novel cationic species through chloride ion displacement using strong Lewis bases. Thus, reaction of 2 with two or three molar equivalents of dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) affords [P(ONO)(Cl)(DMAP)2 ]+ (7) and [P(ONO)(DMAP)3 ]2+ (8). Reaction of 2 with the weaker bidentate base 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy) affords [P(ONO)(Cl)(bipy)]+ (9), although this species was only accessible upon addition of a halide abstracting agent. The dicationic tris(pyridine) adduct [P(ONO)(py)3 ]2+ (10) is also accessible by reaction of 4 with pyridine. Oxidation of 1 using oxygen gas proceeds slowly and allows for the observation of two compounds, a mixed valence dimeric phosphorus(III)/phosphorus(V) compound [P(ONO)(μ2 -O)(μ2 :κ1 ,κ2 -ONO)P] (11) and the fully oxidized species [P(ONO)(μ2 -O)(μ2 :κ1 ,κ2 -ONO)P(O)] (12). Finally, reaction of 1 using KC8 results in the dimerization of the putative radical anion [P(ONO)].- through formation of a P-P bond to afford [P(ONO)]22- (13). Reactions with TEMPO result in the formation of the trigonal bipyramidal species P(ONO)(TEMPO)2 (14).

Abstract
We describe the reactivity of the 2-phosphaethynolate anion (PCO-) towards enantiomerically pure α-amino acids (AAs) resulting in the formation of novel salts of phosphinecarboxamides bearing chiral functionalities. These transformations occurred quantitatively with all but one of the amino acids trialled (the basic amino acid arginine was found to be unreactive). The resulting ionic species can be readily protonated to afford N-(phosphanyl)carbonyl-amino acids, a novel group of amino acids bearing primary phosphine functionalities.

Abstract
We describe the isolation and spectroscopic characterization of the heavier phosphorus-containing analogue of isocyanic acid (HPCO), and its isotopologue (DPCO). This fundamental small molecule, which has been postulated to exist in interstellar space, has thus far only been observed at low gas phase concentrations or in inert gas matrices. In this report we describe its synthesis, spectroscopic properties, and reactivity in solution.

Abstract
We report fundamental studies on the reactivity of the 2-arsaethynolate anion (AsCO- ), a species that has only recently become synthetically accessible. The reaction of AsCO- with the bulky stannylene Ter2 Sn (Ter=2,6-bis[2,4,6-trimethylphenyl]phenyl) is described, which leads to the unexpected formation of a [Ter3 Sn2 As2 ]- cluster compound. On the reaction pathway to this cluster, several intermediates were identified and characterized. After the initial association of AsCO- to Ter2 Sn, decarbonylation occurs to give an anion featuring monocoordinate arsenic, [Ter2 SnAs]- . Both species are not stable under ambient conditions, and [Ter2 SnAs]- rearranges to form [TerSnAsTer]- , an unprecedented anionic mixed Group 14/15 alkene analogue.

Abstract
The room temperature reaction of a 1 : 1 mixture of phosphorus tribromide (PBr3) and the N-heterocyclic carbene 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazol-2-ylidene (IPr) quantitatively affords the Lewis acid-base adduct (IPr)PBr3 (1). Interestingly, when 1 is heated between 55 and 65 °C for a period of several days, dark red crystals slowly begin to form in the reaction vessel accompanied by the release of bromine. The resulting crystalline sample, [P2(IPr)2Br3]Br ([2]Br), results from the reductive coupling of two equivalents of 1, and contains a cationic moiety with a P-P bond that is bridged by a bromine atom. Anion exchange reactions with Na[BArF4] (BArF4 = B(3,5-{CF3}2C6H3)4) afford [2][BArF4]. Abstraction of two equivalents of bromine allows for the isolation of the unprecedented dicationic species [P2(IPr)2Br2]2+ (3) which was isolated and structurally authenticated as two different [BArF4]- salts. Reaction of 2 with mild reductants such as SnBr2 or tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TDAE) affords [P2(IPr)2Br]+ (4) and the known radical cation [P2(IPr)2]˙+ (5), respectively. These studies show that relatively weak P-Br bonds present in compounds 1-4 can be cleaved in a straightforward manner to afford low oxidation state compounds in high yields.
