Reaction of 1 with oxygen and sulfur led to isolation of iPr\(_2\)Im-P(O)\(_2\)Ph (11) and iPr\(_2\)Im-P(S)\(_2\)Ph (12), whereas the reaction with elemental selenium and tellurium gave (NHC)PPh cleavage with formation of (iPr\(_2\)Im)Se (13), iPr\(_2\)ImTe (14) and different cyclo-oligophosphines.
