Protonation of [Mo2Cp2(mu-H)(mu-PHR*)(CO)4] (Cp = eta5-C5H5, R* = 2,4,6-C6H2tBu3) with HBF4.OEt2 gives the hydridophosphinidene complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-H)(mu-PR*)(CO)4]BF4, which is easily deprotonated with H2O to give the known phosphinidene complex [Mo2Cp2(mu-PR*)(CO)4] in 95% yield. Reaction of the latter with I2 gives the unsaturated phosphinidene complex [Mo2Cp2I2(mu-PR*)(CO)2], which exhibits an intermetallic distance of 2.960(2) A. Irradiation of solutions of [Mo2Cp2(mu-PR*)(CO)4] with UV light gives a mixture of the triply bonded [Mo2Cp2(mu-PR*)(mu-CO)2] and the hydridophosphido derivative [Mo2Cp2(mu-H){mu-P(CH2CMe2)C6H2tBu2}(CO)4] as major species. The latter complex results from an intramolecular C-H bond cleavage from a tBu group and has been characterized by spectroscopy and an X-ray study. Irradiation in the presence of HCC(p-tol) results in the insertion of the alkyne into the Mo-P bond to give [Mo2Cp2{mu-eta1:eta2,kappa-C(p-tol)CHPR*}(CO)4] structurally characterized through an X-ray study.

Herein, we report the reactivity of N-heterocyclic carbene stabilized silylene-phosphinidene IDippPSi(TMS)SiTol (IDipp = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-imidazolin-2-ylidene) with ammonia, which results in an intermolecular 1,5-hydroamination and dearomatization of the NHC wingtip. DFT calculations reveal an unprecedented mechanism involving ammonia coordination to the silicon center, Meisenheimer-type complex formation, and a proton abstraction by the dearomatized aryl moiety.

Macrocyclic bis-diphosphenes, formally heavier derivatives of macrocyclic azobenzenes, are accessed for the first time. These are synthesised in a reproducible fashion, through the nickel-mediated homocoupling of xanthene-derived NHC-stabilised bis-phosphinidene units. This gives direct access to target macrocyclic bis-diphosphenes 2, featuring -cyclic coordinated Ni fragments.

Carbonyl nitrenes are versatile intermediates that have been extensively characterized; however, their phosphorus analogues remain largely unknown. Herein, we report the observation of a rare example of carbonyl phosphinidene NHC(O)P, which was generated through the photolytic (193 nm) dehydrogenation of phosphinecarboxamide (NHC(O)PH) in a solid N-matrix at 12 K. The characterization of NHC(O)P in the triplet ground state with matrix-isolation IR and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy is supported by comprehensive isotope labeling experiments (D and N) and quantum chemical calculations.

Synthesis of a bulky anilidophosphine ligand (short PN) and its lanthanum complexes 1 and 3 is reported. When exposed to KPHMes, both complexes form the first example of a bis-phosphanido-phosphinidene complex 2. This complex undergoes Phospha-Wittig type reactions and its reactivity towards strong bases is further investigated.

We expand upon the synthetic utility of anionic rhenium complex Na[(BDI)ReCp] (, BDI = -bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-3,5-dimethyl-β-diketiminate) to generate several rhenium-phosphorus complexes. Complex reacts in a metathetical manner with chlorophosphines PhPCl, NHP-Cl, and OHP-Cl to generate XL-type phosphido complexes , , and , respectively (NHP-Cl = 2-chloro-1,3-dimethyl-1,3,2-diazaphospholidine; OHP-Cl = 2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane). Crystallographic and computational investigations of phosphido triad , , and reveal that increasing the electronegativity of the phosphorus substituent (C < < O) results in a shortening and strengthening of the rhenium-phosphorus bond.
