Abstract
Flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) of cyclic phosphine-borane complexes and dir ect analysis of the gaseous flow by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy allowed us to characterize transient phosphinoboranes and to provide inform ation about their electronic properties. This study was also supported by H RMS results. Ab initio calculations with the hybrid functional B3LYP and th e basis set 6-311G (d, p) allowed us to assign the different ionizations of the PE spectra and provided more information about the character of the BP bond.
