- Preparation of N-heterocyclic phosphines via P–C bond formation Nucleophilic substitution of halogens There are different methods that have been reported for the construction of the P–C bonds. Two approaches are possible using halogenated precursors. The first one is the organometal-halogen-phosphine route

Nevertheless, the pyridinyl SiR 14 performs better due to the addition contributions of the azetidine rings. Next, we examined the targeting ability to mitochondria
