A tetracoordinate 1,2-iodoxetane was prepared by the fluorination of a tricoordinate 1,2-iodoxetane with xenon difluoride followed by hydrolysis. The tetracoordinate 1,2-iodoxetane oxidized alcohols and a sulfide to the corresponding aldehydes and ketones, and a sulfoxide, respectively, in good to moderate yields under mild conditions.

The low sigma-donating ability of 9-phosphatriptycene 1 was revealed by cyclic voltammetry and theoretical calculations. The tungsten complex of 1 was synthesized and the IR and NMR spectroscopic data of the complex also suggested the low sigma-donating ability of 1. 1 was shown to be effective as a ligand in the palladium-catalyzed reactions, the Stille coupling and the Heck reaction.
