The bonding in some simple four-coordinate species involving nitrogen and phosphorus has been studied by the electron localization function (ELF) approach and compared to that in their conventionally singly and doubly bonded counterparts. Despite evidence suggesting the presence of a conventional multiple bond in certain cases of the four-coordinate species, the ELF study shows this not to be the case. Rather, the situation is better pictured as, for example, in the case of H3PCH2as
