The proton affinities of PhPH- (1) and ArfPH - (2) were calculated using the B3LYP hybrid functional and the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. For both anions a net difference was observed. The study of the structural and electronic properties of the anionic species and the corresponding phosphanes PhPH2 (3) and ArfPH2 (4) allowed us to unsderstand this results and point out the specific role of the 2,6-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl (Arf) substituent. © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
