09-11-2021-2054 - Phosphorine phosphinine phosphabenzene

 Phosphorine (IUPAC name: phosphinine) is a heavier element analog of pyridine, containing a phosphorus atom instead of an aza- moiety. It is also called phosphabenzene and belongs to the phosphaalkene class. It is a colorless liquid that is mainly of interest in research.

Phosphorine is an air-sensitive oil[2] but is otherwise stable when handled using air-free techniques (however, substituted derivatives can often be handled under air without risk of decomposition).[3][4] In contrast, silabenzene, a related heavy-element analogue of benzene, is not only air- and moisture-sensitive but also thermally unstable without extensive steric protection.
