N2  - The mass spectrum and the ion molecule reactions of phosphirane and of mixtures of phosphirane with NH3 , NH2D, NHD2 and ND3 have been studied by ion cyclotron resonance spectrometry. Almost all important product ions are formed by PH-group transfer reactions, where ethene is generated as the neutral particle. Only two of the more abundant ions, the protonated molecule, H2P(CH2)2+ and the ion m/e=63, P2H+, are formed via other reaction pathways. Secondary, tertiary and quarternary product ions with the general formula R(PH)n+ (R: phosphirane fragment, n-1, 2, 3) have been detected.
The molecular ion is proved to have a cyclic structure. Two possible structures of the product ions with two and three phosphorus atoms are discussed: a structure with an open phosphorus chain, leaving the phosphirane ring intact and a ring extended structure, produced by a ring extension reaction of the PH-group.
Several rate constants of the ion molecule reactions of the phosphirane molecular ion are given.
