Are Monophospha(III)amidines and ‐guanidines with Ionizable Hydrogens Tautomeric? Towards a Deeper Understanding of Two Related Hetero‐element Functional Groups
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract This paper presents definitive structural evidence for N,P(III)‐monophosphaamidines in P=C and N=C isomeric forms from a combination of new syntheses, single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction (SC‐XRD), solid‐state NMR and FTIR. Evidence is also provided for C‐amino‐(σ2,λ3)‐phosphaalkene and C‐(σ3,λ3)‐phosphinoimine tautomerism in solution using multi‐nuclear NMR methods. Synthesis and SC‐XRD structure determination of a trisubstituted N,N’,P(III)‐monophosphaguanidine is presented, the first structure of a phospha(III)guanidine with two ionizable H atoms. The structural evidence is convincing for an N=C geometry, resulting in both N−H and P−H in the molecule. A detailed computational investigation using DFT methods is presented, with the goal of understanding the tautomeric structure preferences both at the fundamental level (parent molecules with all substituents on the heteroatoms being hydrogen) and using the full structures containing the very bulky 2,6‐diisopropylphenyl (Dipp) substituents employed in this study. Arguments are espoused for treating phospha(III)amidines and ‐guanidines as new types of functional groups, similar to but distinct from the familiar organic analogues. Limited reactivity studies and a voltammetry study of one phospha(III)amidine are included with the supporting information.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
