42.19.3 Hexacoordinated Phosphates (Update 2022)

Abstract This chapter is an update to the earlier Science of Synthesis contribution (Section 42.19), and provides a survey of the chemistry of hexacoordinated phosphates published during the period 2008–2019. A noteworthy feature of the literature reviewed in this period is the considerable number of protocols describing the preparation of fluorinated phosphates. In this regard, this section focuses on a single class of these compounds, hexafluorophosphate derivatives possessing a P—C bond.
