Small-membered phosphacycles are found to mimic catalytic reactivities of transition metals by adopting P^III/P^V redox cycles or Phosphorus-Ligand cooperation. Structural constraint on the phosphorous center perturbs various properties including Lewis acidity, s-character of the lone pair and inversion barrier at the phosphorous center, which realizes unusual phosphorous-based catalysts. This review summarizes recent works on transition metal-like behaviors of three-coordinate phosphorous compounds reported by Radosevich's group.
