30. Although attempts to detect the PH form by NMR experiments failed, experimental/computational studies, for example, on the influence of electronic effects of the substituents on the equilibrium between the NH-phosphanylamido form and the tautomeric PH-iminophosphorane form, strongly suggest the occurrence of these species in the course of the reaction; see, for example: M. Raab, A. Sundermann, G. Schick, A. Loew, M. Nieger, W. W. Schoeller, E. Niecke, Organometallics 2001, 20, 1770-1775.
