Abstract

Positive at last: The first condensed-phase homopolyatomic phosphorus cation [P(9)](+) was prepared using a combination of the oxidant [NO](+) and weakly coordinating anion, [Al{OC(CF(3))(3)}(4)](-). [P(9)](+) consists of two P(5) cages linked by a phosphonium atom to give a D(2d)-symmetric Zintl cluster. NMR (see picture), Raman, and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and quantum-chemical calculations confirmed the structure.
