Abstract
![]()
The cyanide ion plays
a key role in a number of industrially relevant
chemical processes, such as the extraction of gold and silver from
low grade ores. Metal cyanide compounds were arguably some of the
earliest coordination complexes studied and can be traced back to
the serendipitous discovery of Prussian blue by Diesbach in 1706.
By contrast, heavier cyanide analogues, such as the cyaphide ion,
C≡P–, are virtually unexplored despite the
enormous potential of such ions as ligands in coordination compounds
and extended solids. This is ultimately due to the lack of a suitable
synthesis of cyaphide salts. Herein we report the synthesis and isolation
of several magnesium–cyaphido complexes by reduction of iPr3SiOCP with a magnesium(I) reagent.
By analogy with Grignard reagents, these compounds can be used for
the incorporation of the cyaphide ion into the coordination sphere
of metals using a simple salt-metathesis protocol.

Abstract
A range of bis(alkylidynyl)phosphines RP{CM(CO)2(Tp*)}2 (M = Mo, W; R = Cl, Ph, Cy; Tp* = hydrotris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) are obtained from the reactions of [M(CLi)(CO)2(Tp*)] with Cl2PR or alternatively via the palladium(0)-mediated reactions of [W(CBr)(CO)2(Tp*)] with RPH2 (R = Py, Cy).

Abstract
The intramolecular C–H insertion of the Mes*-substituted phosphanylidenecarbene [Mes*P=C:] (Mes* = 2,4,6-t-Bu3C6H2) and physicochemical properties of the cyclized product, 6,8-di-tert-butyl-3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-1-phosphanaphthalene were studied based on ab initio calculations. Whereas the alternative Fritsch–Buttenberg–Wiechell-type rearrangement requires almost no activation energy, the intramolecular cyclization needs an activation energy of 12.3 kcal/mol at the MP2(full)/6-31G(d) condition. DFT calculations supported that the optimized structure of the cyclization product of Mes*P=C: suggests remarkable conjugation effects between the nearly coplanar P=C skeleton and the aryl moiety.

Abstract
Anionic terminal one-atom nitride, phosphide, and carbide complexes are excellent starting materials for the synthesis of ligands containing low-coordinate phosphorus centers in the protecting coordination sphere of the metal complex. Salt-elimination reactions with chlorophosphanes lead to phosphaisocyanide, iminophosphinimide, and diorganophosphanylphosphinidene complexes in which the unusual phosphorus ligands are stabilized by coordination. X-ray structure analyses and density-functional calculations illuminate the bonding in these compounds.
