Abstract
This article describes the synthesis, characterization, and S-atom transfer reactivity of a series of C3v-symmetric diiron complexes. The iron centers in each complex are coordinated in distinct ligand environments, with one (FeN) bound in a pseudo-trigonal bipyramidal geometry by three phosphinimine nitrogens in the equatorial plane, a tertiary amine, and the second metal center (FeC). FeC is coordinated, in turn, by FeN, three ylidic carbons in a trigonal plane, and, in certain cases, by an axial oxygen donor. The three alkyl donors at FeC form through the reduction of the appended N═PMe3 arms of the monometallic parent complex. The complexes were studied crystallographically, spectroscopically (NMR, UV-vis, and Mössbauer), and computationally (DFT, CASSCF) and found to be high-spin throughout, with short Fe-Fe distances that belie weak orbital overlap between the two metals. Further, the redox nature of this series allowed for the determination that oxidation is localized to the FeC. S-atom transfer chemistry resulted in the formal insertion of a S atom into the Fe-Fe bond of the reduced diiron complex to form a mixture of Fe4S and Fe4S2 products.

Abstract
The coordinating properties of two families of ylides, namely, phosphonium ylides and iminophosphoranes, differently substituted at the ylidic center (CH2- vs NiPr-), have been investigated in structurally related cationic phosphine-ylide Rh(CO)2 complexes obtained from readily available phosphine-phosphonium salt precursors derived from an ortho-phenylene bridge. However, while the Rh(CO)2 complex bearing the P+-CH2- donor moiety proved to be stable, the P═NiPr donor end appeared to induce lability to one of the CO groups. All of the RhI carbonyl complexes in both ylide series were fully characterized, including through X-ray diffraction analysis. Based on the experimental and calculated infrared (IR) CO stretching frequencies in Rh(CO)2 complexes, we evidenced that the phosphonium ylide ligand is a stronger donor than the iminophosphorane ligand. However, we also found that the difference in the intrinsic electronic properties can be largely compensated by the introduction of an iPr substituent on the N atom of the iminophosphorane, hence pointing to the noninnocent role of the peripheral substituent and opening novel possibilities to tune the properties of metal complexes containing ylide ligands.

Abstract
Among a plethora of σ-donor ligands available, carbon-centered ones have become essential, in particular with the emergence of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs), positioning themselves as credible alternatives to traditional nitrogen- and phosphorus-based systems. Phosphonium ylides representing another class of neutral η1-bonded carbon ligands have also been shown to act as effective Lewis bases. Considering the intrinsic features of the carbene and phosphonium ylide ligands, similar in terms of electronic properties, but different in terms of bonding mode, the design of hybrid systems combining these two types of carbon functionalities appeared to be a natural and exciting challenge. This Perspective comprehensively covers the chemistry of such ligand architectures from synthesis and fundamental aspects to catalytic applications.
