Abstract:
The structure described in the publication "Structure of Violet Phosphorus and Its Phosphorene Exfoliation" (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2020, 59, 1074-1080) is identical to the structure by Thurn and Krebs determined already in 1969 and therefore by no means a new modification.

The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...
