Reaction of tetraphosphorus hexaoxide with organic azides leads selectively to the cage redistribution products 1 P 4 O 6 NPh, 2 P 4 O 6 NC 2 H 4 Ph, 3 P 4 O 6 NSO 2 CH 3 , 4 P 4 O 6 NC 6 H 13 , and 5 P 4 O 6 NCO 2 C 2 H 5 by nitrene insertion. The molecular structure consists of an adamantane‐like P 4 O 5 N cage with a terminally bound oxygen atom. The P 4 O 5 N cagelike structure is confirmed by 31 P NMR spectroscopy and X‐ray structure analysis. The P 4 O 5 N cages of the P 4 O 6 NR molecules possess a significant geometrical distortion.
