A Thiophosphinidene Complex as a Vehicle in Phosphinidene Transmetalation: Easy Formation and Cleavage of a P-S Bond
A method for the generation of transition metal phosphorus multiple bonds has been developed using the reactions of a novel thiophosphinidene-bridged dimolybdenum complex with different metal carbonyls. The overall process could be considered as a transmetalation of the phosphinidene ligand involving the activation of P-S and P-Mo bonds.
