Abstract:N-heterocyclic carbene-phosphinidene adducts (NHPs) are an emerging class of ligands with proven binding ability for main group and transition elements. They can be considered as inversely polarized phosphaalkenes with electron-rich P atoms possessing two lone pairs of electrons, which render them interesting platforms for the formation of multi-metallic complexes. We describe herein a modular, high-yielding synthesis of bis(NHP)s, starting from alkylidene-bridged bis(NHC)s ((IMe)}2CnH2n; n = 1,3) and a tripho… Show more
