-phosphaindolizine derivatives, with butadiene has been calculated by Bansal and co-workers using DFT [5]. Therein, the dienophilic reactivity of the N=P and P=C units of the heterocycles was in accordance with the experimental observations.
Additionally, a novel triferrocenyl trithiophosphite was synthesized and

by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Triferrocenyl trithiophosphite has nine axes of internal rotation: three P–S bonds, three C–S bonds and three Fe–cyclopentadienyl axes. Rotation around the P–S bonds results in a totally asymmetric structure with three ferrocenylthio groups exhibiting different
orientations towards the phosphorus lone electron pair (LEP). A comparison of DFT calculations and X-ray diffraction data is presented, herein we show which conformations are preferred for a given ligand.
