In this contribution we describe the general use of aryl-substituted triphosphiranes (ArP; Ar = Mes, Dip, Tip) as phosphinidene transfer reagents towards N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) to give a library of twelve N-heterocyclic carbene phosphinidene adducts of the type ArPNHC (NHCPs), in which the NHCs have varying steric profiles, allowing a systematic evaluation of their structural and NMR-spectroscopic properties. In the next series of experiments we utilized 1,3- and 1,4-phenylene bridged bis-NHCs to access a new class of chelating bis(NHCP)s, of which three derivatives could be structurally characterized. The 1,4-phenylene derivatives were shown to be susceptible to P-C bond cleavage when irradiated with an LED (396 nm), providing a rare example of phosphinidene release from NHCPs. The coordination chemistry of 1,3-phenylene bridged bis(NHCP)s towards GeCl(dioxane) and GaI was investigated and revealed the formation of ion-separated cationic complexes, with significant charge transfer from the ligand to the metal center according to NBO analyses.

The reaction of the ,-diisopropyl bromoiminium salt with excess sodium phosphaethynolate (NaPCO) affords a diphospha-urea 2. Under blue light irradiation (450 nm), carbon monoxide is liberated affording the bis(carbene)P adduct 3. Photolysis of a benzene solution of 3 at 365 nm gives rise to the carbene dimer, namely the 1,2-bis(diisopropylamino)ethylene as a / mixture, along with white and red phosphorus.

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.

While the chemistry of phosphenium compounds, including metal complexes thereof, is very well established, few derivatives having a P-H bond have been described, yet. This work describes rational access to donor-stabilised phosphenium metal complexes possessing a P-H bond using protonation reactions of stable phosphinidene complex adducts. While most Brønsted-Lowry acids yield formal 1,1-addition products at the phosphorus centre under the loss of the donor, super-strong acids having weakly coordinating anions enable access to donor-stabilised P-H phosphenium complex salts.

The scopes and limitations of theoretical methods for estimating various NMR metrics of NHCs are considered on a wide range of model NHCs and their derivatives, using a number of computational approximations. On the whole, the most reliable, from the point of view of predictability and insusceptibility to additional effects, are P/C NMR shifts of NHC-phosphinidene adducts and C CSs of carbenes themselves. The method based on the analysis of Se CS NHC-selenoureas has some limitations since the observed NMR parameters can also be modulated by exchange effects due to their formation with non-classical hydrogen bonds.
