Cesium 3,5‐bis(2,4,6‐tri‐ tert ‐butylphenyl)‐1,2,4‐triphospholide ( 12 ) and cesium 5‐(2,4,6‐tri‐ tert ‐butylphenyl)tetraphospholide ( 13 ) were synthesized and isolated with flat five‐membered rings, which are an indication of the aromaticity in these anions. Compound 13 is the first example of a stable tetraphospholide anion, which is structurally characterized. Kinetic stabilization of the 1,2,4‐triphospholide system by two supermesityl groups resulted in the detection of the room‐temperature‐stable radical 17 and the observation of a series of successive sigmatropic hydrogen shifts in the first stable 1 H ‐1,2,4‐triphosphole 14 with a P–H bond.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
