Cyclotriphosphazenes have been functionalized with various oxo-groups at one of the ring phosphorus atoms. Starting from geminal dichlorides (A) which are equipped with amino groups at the other two phosphorus atoms {(Z 0 2 P) 2 N 3 PCl 2 (Z 0 = NHCy) and (Z 00 P) 2 N 3 PCl 2 (Z 00 = {EtN(C 3 H 6 )NEt}), respectively}, phosphate (B), pyrophosphate (C), phosphamide (D), and phosphite (E) derivatives have been prepared. The zwitterionic phosphate (Z 0 2 P) 2 N 3 H 2 PO 2 B is obtained via the 4-dimethylamino pyridine (dmap)-catalyzed hydrolysis of A in a biphasic mixture of aqueous KOH and tetrahydrofuran (thf). B contains a PO 2 moiety neighboring two protonated ring nitrogen sites. It crystallizes as the tetrahydrate (Z 0 2 P) 2 N 3 H 2 PO 2 3 4H 2 O, which consists of a double helix: A helical chain of hydrogen bonded zwitterions is intertwined with a helical chain of water molecules. The reaction of A with only dmap in CHCl 3 produces the dication [(Z 0 2 P) 2 N 3 P(dmap) 2 ] 2þ , which binds two dmap ligands at one phosphorus atom. The tetrahydrate dehydrates at 160 °C in vacuo under formation of the pyrophosphate {(Z 0 2 P) 2 N 3 HPO} 2 O C, which contains a OdP-O-PdO residue linking the two phosphazene rings. When heated in a mixture of aqueous KOH, primary amine, and thf, A undergoes a concurrent aminolysis-hydrolysis reaction, which gives the phosphamide (Z 2 P) 2 N 3 HP(O)NHR D featuring a P(=O)NHR residue. The corresponding reaction of A with R,R 0 -diamino-p-xylene in a 2:1 ratio leads to the formation of {(Z 0 2 P) 2 N 3 HP(O)NHCH 2 } 2 C 6 H 4 , in which two phosphamide moieties are linked by a xylylene bridge. Phosphites E containing PHO moieties are obtained via reduction of the dichloride with potassium and subsequent treatment with KOH. The product consists of a hexameric potassium complex, which features a central K 6 O 6 double cube arrangement and contains the anionic ligand [(Z 00 P) 2 N 3 PHO]that offers two bidentate N-P-O coordination sites. Addition of NH 4 Cl yields the neutral phosphite (Z 00 P) 2 N 3 HPHO. The title compounds are amphiphilic featuring hydrophilic NH and PO x moieties and hydrophobic alkyl groups. In addition, they show amphiprotic behavior via protonation/deprotonation at ring N atoms.
