Reactions of protic reagents with a tungsten phosphenium ion complex

Cooperative activation of O–H and S–H bonds across the Co–P bond of an N-heterocyclic phosphido complex

A cobalt N-heterocyclic phosphido complex is shown to cleave element–hydrogen bonds via a metal–phosphorus ligand cooperative pathway.

An anionic phosphenium complex as an ambident nucleophile

Treatment of an N-heterocyclic chlorophosphine with Collman's reagent or K[HFe(CO)₄]/NaH gave a unique anionic phosphenium complex which behaves as an ambident nucleophile.
