Abstract

pKas of P(1)-H deprotonation of all phosphole group compounds, phosphole (C4H4PH), 1,2 and 1,3-diphospholes (C3H3PPH), 1,2,3, and 1,2,4-triphospholes (C2H2P2PH), tetraphosphole (CHP3PH), and pentaphosphole (P4PH) are determined by DFT calculations. We have compared these to the pKas of the analogue azole group compounds and the factors that cause the differences of these values are discussed in terms of the stabilities of both the phosphole anions and azole anions.

Keywords: phospholes, pKa, DFT.
