34. The ammonium group lowers both the phosphinidene's highest occupied and lowest unoccupied molecular orbitais (HOMO and LUMO) that account for the phosphorus lone pair and empty p orbital, respectively. This makes 3a the more electrophilic species (HOMO 3a: -8.68, 3b: -6.17 eV; LUMO 3a: -6.42, 3b: -3.91 eV).
