Abstract

The first 4d/4f polyphosphides were obtained from reactions of the divalent metallocenes [Cp*<sub>2</sub>Ln(thf)<sub>2</sub>] (Ln = Sm, Yb) with [{CpMo(CO)<sub>2</sub>}<sub>2</sub>(μ,η<sup>2:2</sup>-P<sub>2</sub>)] or [Cp*Mo(CO)<sub>2</sub>(η<sup>3</sup>-P<sub>3</sub>)]. New aggregation of the central phosphorus scaffold in combination with P–P bond formation within the coordination sphere of the transition metal was observed.
