Phosphorus, General

Silicon and phosphorus generally form rather weak bonds, consequently in phosphorus chemistry, silyl substituents are mainly used as a leaving group. In silicon chemistry, phosphorus-based substituents are less common, though this has changed in the last two decades due to novel concepts in molecular chemistry (prominent examples are [/BuSi-P]4 [1] and R2Si=PR [2]) and in materials sciences. 

The earlier methods for the measurement of organic phosphorus generally used fairly drastic measures to decompose the organic compounds present and free the phosphates. For example, Duursma [34] used the technique originally described by Harvey [35] which included autoclaving the seawater with sulfuric acid at 140 °C for 6 h, at a pressure of 3 atmospheres. These methods required... 

Phosphorus. Eightv-tive percent of the phosphorus, the second most abundant element in the human body, is located in bones and teeth. Whereas there is constant exchange of calcium and phosphorus between bones and blood, there is very little turnover in teeth. The Ca P ratio In hones is constant at about 2 1. Every tissue and cell conlains phosphorus, generally as a sail nr ester of mono-, di-. or tribasic phosphoric acid, as phospholipids, or as phosphorylaled sugars. Phosphorus is involved in a large number and wide variety of metabolic functions. Examples arc carbohydrate metabolism, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from fatty acid metabolism, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Organic phosphorus generally accumulates in the finest soil fractions, with the clay fraction often containing more organic phosphorus than silt (Williams and Saunders,... 

The chemistry of phosphorus generally resembles that of arsenic much more closely than that of nitrogen, and the latter stands somewhat apart from the other elements of the group. Phosphorus and arsenic quite frequently form similar compounds whereas phosphorus and nitrogen seldom do. 

The chemistry of phosphorus generally lies much closer to that of arsenic than to nitrogen, and a given phosphorus compound often resembles its arsenic analogue in structure and many of its properties. 

Penta- and hexa-coordinaled phosphorus generally have large negative values of 5. Phosphonium salts and ylids generally fall in a narrow range of about -30 to +5 ppm. The large negative NMR shifts observed in trialkoxy dioxaphospholes like (6.960) are typical of 5-coordinated P compounds, and the presence of the phosphorane rather than the phosphonium form is indicated.
