Popis: Ab initio MO calculations at the MP4/6–31G** level show that both fluorine and chlorine atoms exert a strong stabilizing effect on the three-membered ring 1H-phosphirene relative to its isomers. While unsubstituted 1H-phosphirene (12H) is the least stable C2H3P isomer, 1-fluoro-1H-phosphirene (12F) is calculated to be the global minimum of the C2H2FP potential energy surface; 1-chloro-1H-phosphirene (12Cl) is the third most stable of the six C2H2ClP isomers calculated. The remarkable stability of 12F is attributable to the particular strength of the P—F bond.
