The present invention provides a process for the preparation of mono- and bisacylphosphanes based on formula (I):

##STR00001##

as well as for their corresponding oxides or sulfides. The present invention further relates to photoinitiators obtainable by said process.

Cyanophosphines other than P(CN).sub.3 react with lithium dicyanamide to produce lithiated carbon phosphonitrides with mobile Li.sup.+ ions.

Described herein is the preparation of carbon phosphonitride pre-polymers that are soluble in organic solvents and can be further thermoset into carbon phosphonitride extended solids (i.e. films, monoliths, etc.) with an approximate empirical formula of C.sub.3N.sub.3P.
