Abstract
The capacity of compounds containing the iminophosphoryl group
for dimerization has been considered in the framework of a previously proposed qualitative model of the dependence of the electrophilicity of antibonding orbitals on the structure of molecules. Dimerization involves the attack of the lone pair of the nitrogen atom on the most electrophilic σ* orbital of another molecule of the iminophosphoryl compound. In contrast to the existing theories, it follows from the present treatment that the replacement of one or two groupings on the phosphorus atom by groupings with stronger electron-donor properties should not have a significant influence on the capacity of a molecule for dimerization.
