This review gives an account of the syntheses, structures, and properties of phosphaalkenes R 1 P=CR 2 R 3 with an inverse electron distribution at the P−C double bond (P δ− C δ+ ). The chemical reactivity of compounds of this type is novel and quite surprising compared to the chemistry of “classically polarized” phosphaalkenes (P δ+ C δ− ).
