compounds of this study, the phosphirenium-borate zwitter-
ions, are easily obtained even at room temperature lets us hope
that a specific chemistry of these neutral derivatives of the
phosphirenium cations will be developed.

8 Preparation of compound 5: B(C6F5)3 (0.400 g, 0.780 mmol) and 3c
(0.300 g, 0.780 mmol) were suspended in pentane (15 ml) and stirred
for 30 minutes at room temperature. After filtration 5 (0.534 g, 0.596
mmol, 76%) was obtained as a white solid. Crystals suitable for X-ray
crystal structure analysis were grown by slow diffusion of pentane into
a solution of 5 in dichloromethane at ꢀ36 1C. [Elemental analysis,
