Stepwise oxidation of 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)naphthalene and a series of (oligo)methylene-linked diphosphines with XeF<sub>2</sub> followed by fluoride abstraction yields a family of compounds featuring phosphine, phosphonium and phosphorane moieties in close proximity. The bisphosphonium ions [(C<sub>10</sub>H<sub>6</sub>)(Ph<sub>2</sub>PF)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> (<b>5</b>) and [CH<sub>2</sub>(Ph<sub>2</sub>PF)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>2+</sup> (<b>9a</b>) exhibit remarkable Lewis acidity arising ...[more]
