Reaktionen von Tetraphosphortrichalkogeniden mit Alkyliodiden

Reactions of Tetraphosphorus Trichalcogenides with Alkyl Iodides Reactions of alkyl iodides RI (R = CHI₂, CH₂I or tert-Butyl) with P₄E₃ (E = S or Se) under the influence of light resulted in cleavage of the basal P₃ ring. β-P₄E₃(I)R was formed initially, then it rearranged to the more stable α-P₄E₃(I)R structure. ³¹P NMR data of these products were measured and discussed, along with ⁷⁷Se data for α- and β-P₄⁷⁷SeSe₂(I)CHI₂. On reaction of P₄S₃ with tert-butyl iodide in CS₂ or with sec-butyl iodide or iso-propyl iodide in dioxane, the new type of compounds P₅S₂R was observed. In this a sulfur bridge of P₄S₃ is replaced by a P? R group. ³¹P-NMR data for these compounds are reported.
