| Abstract: | With the aid of selected examples an overview is given of the development trends in phosphoruscarbon chemistry over the past few years. An attempt is made to demonstrate the relationships between various parameters and properties such as constitution, basicity, substitution by functional groups, reaction behavior etc. of the compounds. In the case of basis compounds containing methylphosphorus groups the state of development of industrially interesting processes is also outlined. In addition, the synthesis of a few bifunctional phosphorus-carbon compounds which can be employed as comonomers in the production of polymers is described. |
