PH‐Functionalized Phosphenium Complexes [C₅R₅(OC)₂ WP(H)R′] (R′ = <i>t</i>Bu, sMes): Synthesis, Isomerization, and Transformation into Hydrido Complexes Containing a <i>t</i>BuP(H)OH Ligand

Abstract

The readily accessible P–H-functionalized half-sandwich phosphenium complexes 1a (R = tBu, sMes) are characterized by a high reactivity of the PH or the WP bond which is the basis for isomerization and addition reactions leading to the hydrido complexes 2 and 3. ◯ = H, Me.
