Overview – Phosphines – Phosphomides – Cyclophanes – Summary – Acknowledgements Introduction • Molecular wires and NLOs are envisaged to allow electronic communication across conjugated chains • Often comprised of transition metals bridged by alkenes and aromatic rings C. Lapinte, J. Organomet. Chem., 2008, 693, 2898 As an alternative, we propose incorporation of phosphaalkynes into conjugated chains with possible applications in NLO devices and molecular wires • Phosphaalkynes bearing extended conjugation are rare • Those without steric bulk (PhC≡P) are short-lived (t1/2 = 7 minutes) (1) C. Müller, Organomet. Chem., 1996, 512, 141 (2) G. Märkl, Tetrahedron Lett., 1986, 27, 171 (3) C. Jones, J. Organomet. Chem., 2007, 692, 5086
