Phosphacyclopentadienide (phospholide) anions and their derivatives are very attractive as building blocks for the construction of versatile organophosphorus molecular materials with useful and interesting catalytic, optical, luminescent, and magnetic properties.^[1] Therefore, development of convenient methods for the straightforward synthesis of these phosphorus heterocycles and their derivatives through functionalization of elemental phosphorus P₄ (bypassing toxic chlorine Cl₂) has a significant interest.^[2] This lecture features recent advances on the synthesis of various phosphacyclopentadienide anions and their chemical behavior toward organic or organoelement substrates, and transition metal complexes. A rational and highly efficient method to access 1-mono-,^[3] 1,2-di-^[4] and 1,2,3-triphospholide^[5] anions in individual forms directly from white phosphorus P₄, alkali metals and small molecules (alkynes and cyclopropenylium halides) have been developed. Interaction with various chiral and non-chiral alkyl halides has resulted in the formation of novel P-heterocycles, namely 1-mono-, 1,2-di- and 1,2,3-triphospholes. Reaction with iron(II) complexes was used as a convenient way for an efficient synthesis of a number of new phosphaferrocenes.^[6] First results on the application in materials science and homogeneous catalysis of phospholide derivatives (phospholes and their [4+2] cycloadducts) were also reported.^[7] This work was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project no. 21-73-10204).
