Catalysis of phosphorus compound 10-P-323,7-di(tert-butyl)-5-aza-2,8-dioxa-l-phosphabicyclo[3.3.0]octa-2,4,6-triene 1P and its analogues in transfer hydrogenation of azobenzene with ammonia-borane (NH3BH3) was investigated using DFT, CCSD(T), and ONIOM(CCSD(T):MP2) methods. Theoretical calculations clearly reveal that this transfer hydrogenation reaction occurs through the phosphorus–ligand cooperative catalysis function with a change in the phosphorus oxidation state between +I and +III. It is noteworthy that the change in phosphorus oxidation state is a characteristic feature of the cooperative catalysis by 1P: it is not easy for a main-group element to change its oxidation state. This characteristic feature differs from that of metal–ligand cooperative catalysis in which the metal oxidation state does not change. Theoretical calculations also disclose that the catalytic activity of 1P-like compound is improved by introducing electron-withdrawing substituents to the ligand and using the conjugated plana...
