Abstract In this review, the scientific progress of the last 30 years on the chemistry, synthetic procedures and the reactivity of cyclooligophosphanes is presented. Cyclooligophosphanes display a rich coordination chemistry which is still only barely explored. 31P NMR spectroscopy is a powerful tool for the characterisation of phosphorus-rich compounds. Furthermore, the potential application of phosphorus-rich metal complexes as precursors for metal phosphides is discussed.
