Bulky tris(carbene)borate ligands provide access to high spin iron(ii) phosphido complexes. The complex PhB(MesIm)FeP(H)Ph is thermally unstable, and [PPh] group insertion into a C-H bond of the supporting ligand is observed. An arrested α-hydride migration mechanism suggests increased nucleophilicity of the phosphorus atom facilitates [PPh] group transfer reactivity.
