The starting material can be recovered quantitatively by deprotonation with base. The system represents a new type of molecular switch.coordinationreactivityphosphorusanalogsacetonitrilecomplexesacceptorbasicityligandssaltsTransformation between diphosphinoamines and iminobiphosphines: a reversible p-n-p <-> N=P-P rearrangement triggered by protonation/deprotonationtext::journal::journal article::research article
