This review covers recent achievements in the area of low coordinate phosphorus ligands
featuring PC double bonds such as phosphaalkenes, phospholide-based complexes and …

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 …

Electrophilic and nucleophilic terminal‐phosphinidene complexes are compared in terms of
electronic structures and reactivities. Various precursors of the unstable electrophilic species …

This work reexamined the stereoelectronic basis for the “favored attack trajectories”
regarding the nucleophilic and radical cyclizations of alkynes. In contrast to the original …

The chemistry of terminal phosphinidene (phosphanediyl) and heavier congeneric
complexes is much less developed than that of the familiar metal imides. 1 The road to …

The Wittig and Aza-Wittig reactions have undergone tremendous development over the past
50 years in light of their potential in organic synthesis to construct carbon–carbon and …

The synthesis, structure, and reactivity of a base-free terminal actinide phosphinidene
metallocene have been comprehensively studied. The salt metathesis reaction of the …

Complexes with a multiple bond between a transition metal and main group element
(TMdMG) have been studied intensively by inorganic and organometallic chemists. TMdMG …

α-Hydrogen abstraction and α-hydrogen migration reactions yield novel titanium (IV)
complexes bearing terminal phosphinidene ligands. Via an α-H migration reaction, the …

The first stable base‐free terminal uranium phosphinidene metallocene is presented; and its
structure and reactivity have been studied in detail and compared to that of the …
