Dinuclear phosphinidene complexes bridging two transition metal centres are now well established. However, a phosphinidene bridging a metal centre and a main group Lewis acid has not yet been reported. Herein, we describe the generation of a highly reactive phosphinidene complex bridging a tungsten and a boron centre.

ConspectusAs phosphorus analogues of alkylidene (or carbene) and imido (or nitrene) complexes, phosphinidene complexes have received great attention not only for their fundamental scientific merits but also for their ability to build new phosphorus-containing molecules. A large number of phosphinidene complexes in bridging, mononuclear, or terminal coordination modes have been synthesized, and their reactivity has been extensively explored. However, the synthesis of rare-earth metal (scandium, yttrium, and lanthanide metal) phosphinidene complexes lagged behind the transition metal and actinide congeners for decades.

Reactions of complexes [MoMCp(μ-PMes*)(CO)] with H and several p-block element (E) hydrides mostly resulted in the cleavage of E-H bonds under mild conditions [M = Re () and Mn (); Mes* = 2,4,6-CHBu]. The reaction with H (ca. 4 atm) proceeded even at 295 K to give the hydrides [MoMCp(μ-H)(μ-PHMes*)(CO)].

We describe nonmetal adducts of the phosphorus center of terminal phosphinidene complexes using classical C- and N-ligands from metal coordination chemistry. The nature of the L-P bond has been analyzed by various theoretical methods including a refined method on the variation of the Laplacian of electron density ∇ρ along the L-P bond path. Studies on thermal stability reveal stark differences between N-ligands such as N-methyl imidazole and C-ligands such as tert-butyl isocyanide, including ligand exchange reactions and a surprising formation of white phosphorus.

Reactions of [MoReCp(μ-PMes*)(CO)] with internal alkynes RC≡CR yielded the phosphapropenylidene-bridged complexes [MoReCp(μ-κ:η-PMes*CRCR)(CO)] (Mes* = 2,4,6-CHBu; R = COMe, Ph). Terminal alkynes HC≡CR gave mixtures of isomers [MoReCp(μ-κ:η-PMes*CHCR)(CO)] and [MoReCp(μ-κ:η-PMes*CRCH)(CO)], with the first isomer being major (R = COMe) or unique (R = Bu), indicating the relevance of steric repulsions during the [2 + 2] cycloaddition step between Mo=P and C≡C bonds in these reactions. Similar reactions were observed for [MoMnCp(μ-PMes*)(CO)].
