Abstract
Syntheses, properties, and reactivities of nucleophilic phosphinidene complexes [LnM=P-R] are reviewed. Emphasis is placed on the electronic tuning of this emerging class of phosphorus reagents, using different ancillary ligands and coordinatively unsaturated transitionmetal moieties. The difference in applicability of the established stable 18-electron and transient 16-electron phosphinidenes is addressed.
