“…Study of variations in 31P NMR chemical shifts and coupling constants with structure has helped elucidate Bicyclic phosphorus chalcogenide compounds which the geometric and electronic factors which control these carry exocyclic groups have proved a fruitful area of syn-parameters in polycyclic molecules [5, 121. These thetic chemistry, giving compounds in the series 01-or pmolecular skeletons all contain only three-coordinate P,E3XY (E = S, Se) [I -81 or recently P,E,X [9] or phosphorus, and in order to discover new series of P,S,X [lo, 111, where the exocyclic X or Y are halide, molecules, we wished to make cyclic phosphorus pseudohalide, or various N-, 0-, Po r S-centred groups.…”
