This thesis documents our attempts to advance the chemistry of monovalent phosphorus. To advance the chemistry of monovalent phosphorus one must incorporate new substituents on phosphorus, and/or find new substrates with which to trap the terminal phosphinidene complexes with. This thesis consists o...
