Abstract
Diphosphornitride cations which bear chlorine substituents at both phosphorus atoms are obtained by the action of chlorophosphoranes RPC14 or R2PC13 on phosphinic thioamides R2PSNH2. The two components can contain different R groups to produce unsymmetric species. The chlorine can subsequently be exchanged by reaction with NH3, SO2 or HCOOH. 31P- and 1H-NMR-data elucidate the structures.
