Mixed Phosphatetrahedranes

Abstract
P‐yramids: Tetrahedranes are highly strained molecules, and the all‐carbon (CtBu)4 and all‐phosphorus species P4 have been known for decades and centuries, respectively. Despite this, the mixed P/C tetrahedranes were unknown until recently when the syntheses of the phosphatetrahedranes P(CtBu)3 and P2(CtBu)2 were reported by the research groups of Cummins and Wolf.
