Following the detection of the diatomic phosphorus mononitride, HPNH is the simplest iminophosphane that has been proposed as a candidate interstellar species. Here, the authors report the synthesis and characterization of iminophosphane HPNH and aminophosphinidene H2NP as prototype molecules bearing phosphorus nitrogen multiple bonds.
