Bonding metal-phosphorus

The magnitudes of the one-bond metal-phosphorus coupling constants represent a rich source of structural information. The anisotropy of the indirect spin-spin... 

The spin-spin scalar coupling between two nuclei has long since become a routine tool in the armament of chemists. This stems partially from the enormous number of empirical relations routinely in use as structure and hybridization probes and partially from the theoretically more tractable relationships which are thought to correctly describe this spin-spin interaction. There are several levels of sophistication commonly in use when discussing the theory of the one-bond metal-phosphorus coupling constant, J(M,P), and this topic, in combination with the question of metal-phosphorus bonding, will be considered first in... 

Ill One-Bond Metal-Phosphorus Coupling Constants -A Survey... 

The previous paragraphs have concerned themselves with the qualitative aspects of the theory of one-and two-bond phosphorus couplings involving metals. In a number of instances we have cited specific if somewhat selective literature to support these ideas. The section which follows provides a more comprehensive survey of the types of molecules for which one-bond metal-phosphorus couplings have been reported.
