Abstract
The diatomic molecule PH is very reactive, and it serves as the parent compound for phosphinidenes featuring a monovalent phosphorus atom. Herein, we report the characterization and reactivity of a rare hydrogen-bonded complex of PH. Specifically, the molecular complex between PH and HCl has been generated by photolysis of chlorophosphine (H2PCl) at 254 nm in a solid Ar-matrix at 10 K. The IR spectrum of the complex HP⋅⋅⋅HCl and quantum chemical calculations at the UCCSD(T)-F12a/haTZ level consistently prove that the phosphorus atom acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor with a binding energy (D0) of -0.6 kcal mol-1. In line with the observed absorption at 341 nm for the binary complex, the triplet phosphinidene PH undergoes prototype H-Cl bond insertion by reformation of H2PCl upon photoexcitation at 365 nm. However, this hydrogen-bonded complex is unstable in the presence of N2 and HCl, as both molecules prefers stronger interactions with HCl than PH in the observed complexes HP⋅⋅⋅HCl⋅⋅⋅N2 and HP⋅⋅⋅2HCl.

Abstract
Carbenes (R2C:), compounds with a divalent carbon atom containing only six valence shell electrons, have evolved into a broader class with the replacement of the carbene carbon or the RC moiety with main group elements, leading to the creation of main group carbene analogues. These analogues, mirroring the electronic structure of carbenes (a lone pair of electrons and an empty orbital), demonstrate unique reactivity. Over the last three decades, this area has seen substantial advancements, paralleling the innovations in carbene chemistry. Recent studies have revealed a spectrum of unique carbene analogues, such as monocoordinate aluminylenes, nitrenes, and bismuthinidenes, notable for their extraordinary properties and diverse reactivity, offering promising applications in small molecule activation. This review delves into the isolable main group carbene analogues that are in the forefront from 2010 and beyond, spanning elements from group 13 (B, Al, Ga, In, and Tl), group 14 (Si, Ge, Sn, and Pb) and group 15 (N, P, As, Sb, and Bi). Specifically, this review focuses on the potential amphiphilic species that possess both lone pairs of electrons and vacant orbitals. We detail their comprehensive synthesis and stabilization strategies, outlining the reactivity arising from their distinct structural characteristics.

Abstract
Ring expansion of strained small rings provides an efficient method for the synthesis of various high-value carbocycles and heterocycles. Here we report BF3·Et2O as both an activating reagent and fluorine source, enabling ring expansion of phosphirane and P-F bond formation. Treatment of 1-iminylphosphirane complexes with BF3·Et2O resulted in 1,2-azaphospholidines, while the reaction of 1-acylphosphirane complexes with BF3·Et2O afforded 1,2-dihydrophosphetes. The reaction path was tuned by the nucleophilicity of the N and O atoms toward the intermediate phosphenium cation.

Abstract
Reaction of the ruthenium carbene complex Cp*(IPr)RuCl (1) (IPr = 1,3-bis(Dipp)imidazol-2-ylidene; Dipp = 2,6-diisopropylphenyl) with sodium phosphaethynolate (NaOCP) led to intramolecular dearomatization of one of the Dipp substituents on the Ru-bound carbene to afford a Ru-bound phosphanorcaradiene, 2. Computations by DFT reveal a transition state characterized by a concerted process whereby CO migrates to the Ru center as the P atom adds to the π system of the aryl group. The phosphanorcaradiene possesses ambiphilic properties and reacts with both nucleophilic and electrophilic substrates, resulting in rearomatization of the ligand aryl group with net P atom transfer to give several unusual metal-bound, P-containing main-group moieties. These new complexes include a metallo-1-phospha-3-azaallene (Ru─P═C═NR), a metalloiminophosphanide (Ru─P═N─R), and a metallophosphaformazan (Ru─P(═N─N═CPh2)2). Reaction of 2 with the carbene 2,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazol-2-ylidene (IMe4) produced the corresponding phosphaalkene DippP═IMe4.

Abstract
Phosphinidenes are heavy congeners of nitrenes that have been broadly used as in situ reagents in synthetic phosphorus chemistry and also serve as versatile ligands in coordination with transition metals. However, the detection of free phosphinidenes is largely challenged by their high reactivity and also the lack of suitable synthetic methods, rendering the knowledge about the fundamental properties of this class of low-valent phosphorus compounds limited. Recently, an increasing number of free phosphinidenes bearing prototype structural and bonding properties have been prepared for the first time, thus enabling the exploration of their distinct reactivity from the nitrene analogues. This Concept article will discuss the experimental approaches for the generation of the highly unstable phosphinidenes and highlight their distinct reactivity from the nitrogen analogues so as to stimuate future studies about their potential applications in phosphorus chemistry.

Abstract
We report the first synthesis and structural characterization of free, uncomplexed phosphet-2-ones. These unsaturated four-membered phosphacycles were prepared by phosphinidene transfer from dibenzo-7-phosphanorbornadiene compounds, RPA (A = C14H10, anthracene), to cyclopropenones in yields of up to 89%. Theoretical studies suggest that the reaction proceeds through ketene-ylide and ketene-phosphaalkene intermediates. Further transformations of the phosphet-2-ones led to the isolation of more phosphet-2-ones and 1,2-dihydrophosphetes, including two furanone derivatives which are postulated to be produced by intramolecular phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulations.

Abstract
Herein is reported the structural characterization and scalable preparation of the elusive iron-phosphido complex FpP( t Bu)(F) (2-F, Fp = (Fe(η5-C5H5)(CO)2)) and its precursor FpP( t Bu)(Cl) (2-Cl) in 51% and 71% yields, respectively. These phosphide complexes are proposed to be relevant to an organoiron catalytic cycle for phosphinidene transfer to electron-deficient alkenes. Examination of their properties led to the discovery of a more efficient catalytic system involving the simple, commercially available organoiron catalyst Fp2. This improved catalysis also enabled the preparation of new phosphiranes with high yields ( t BuPCH2CHR; R = CO2Me, 41%; R = CN, 83%; R = 4-biphenyl, 73%; R = SO2Ph, 71%; R = POPh2, 70%; R = 4-pyridyl, 82%; R = 2-pyridyl, 67%; R = PPh3 +, 64%) and good diastereoselectivity, demonstrating the feasibility of the phosphinidene group-transfer strategy in synthetic chemistry. Experimental and theoretical studies suggest that the original catalysis involves 2-X as the nucleophile, while for the new Fp2-catalyzed reaction they implicate a diiron-phosphido complex Fp2(P t Bu), 4, as the nucleophile which attacks the electron-deficient olefin in the key first P-C bond-forming step. In both systems, the initial nucleophilic attack may be accompanied by favorable five-membered ring formation involving a carbonyl ligand, a (reversible) pathway competitive with formation of the three-membered ring found in the phosphirane product. A novel radical mechanism is suggested for the new Fp2-catalyzed system.

Abstract
N‐containing molecules are mostly derived from ammonia (NH3). Ammonia activation has been demonstrated for single transition metal centers as well as for low‐valent main group species. Phosphinidenes, mono‐valent phosphorus species, can be stabilized by phosphines, giving so‐called phosphanylidenephosphoranes of the type RP(PR′3). We demonstrate the facile, metal‐free NH3 activation using ArP(PMe3), affording for the first time isolable secondary aminophosphines ArP(H)NH2. DFT studies reveal that two molecules of NH3 act in concert to facilitate an NH3 for PMe3 exchange. Furthermore, H2NR and HNR2 activation is demonstrated.

Abstract
Cage-opening reactions of the highly strained tri-tert-butylphosphatetrahedrane (1), shown here to function as a synthon of (tri-tert-butylcyclopropenyl)phosphinidene, are described. Treatment of 1 with a base-stabilized silylene led to the corresponding phosphasilene, which was isolated in 72% yield as a red crystalline solid. Phosphinidene transfer was also observed when 1 (2 equiv) was combined with the Wittig reagent Ph3PCH2 to form a diphosphirane (50% isolated yield). The reaction is proposed to proceed through a generated phosphaalkene intermediate, which was characterized by NMR spectroscopy. In addition, we report on nickel-catalyzed phosphinidene transfer to styrene, ethylene, neohexene, and 1,3-cyclohexadiene; the corresponding phosphiranes were isolated in 51-64% yield. Computational studies suggest the intermediacy of a nickel phosphinidene species. Treatment of the ethylene-derived phosphirane product with triflic acid delivered elimination of [tBu3C3]OTf and formation of a P-H bond, illustrating the ability of the tri-tert-butyl cyclopropenyl group to serve as a protecting group that is removable following phosphinidene transfer.

Abstract
Herein, we report a facile and highly atom-economic approach to 2-phosphafurans by using simple 2-chloroethylphosphine and acetylenic ketones. The key step of this protocol utilizes the Lewis acidity of electrophilic phosphinidenes to induce an intramolecular cyclization with enones. Dearomative hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of 2-phosphafurans provide two series of bicyclic phosphacycles. This rare synthetic application of Lewis acidity of electrophilic phosphinidene complexes represents a new frontier of phosphinidene chemistry.

Abstract
The titled 2,1-benzazaphosphole (1) (i. e. ArP, where Ar=2-(DippN=CH)C6 H4 , Dipp=2,6-iPr2 C6 H3 ) showed a spectacular reactivity behaving both as a reactive heterodiene in hetero-Diels-Alder (DA) reactions or as a hidden phosphinidene in the coordination toward selected transition metals (TMs). Thus, 1 reacts with electron-deficient alkynes RC≡CR (R=CO2 Me, C5 F4 N) giving 1-phospha-1,4-dihydro-iminonaphthalenes 2 and 3, that undergo hydrogen migration producing 1-phosphanaphthalenes 4 and 5. Compound 1 is also able to activate the C=C double bond in selected N-alkyl/aryl-maleimides RN(C(O)CH)2 (R=Me, tBu, Ph) resulting in the addition products 7-9 with bridged bicyclic [2.2.1] structures. The binding of the maleimides to 1 is semi-reversible upon heating. By contrast, when 1 was treated with selected TM complexes, it serves as a 4e donor bridging two TMs thus producing complexes [μ-ArP(AuCl)2 ] (10), [(μ-ArP)4 Ag4 ][X]4 (X=BF4 (11), OTf (12)) and [μ-ArP(Co2 (CO)6 )] (13). The structure and electron distribution of the starting material 1 as well as of other compounds were also studied from the theoretical point of view.

Abstract
Tri-tert-butylphosphatetrahedrane (1) is shown here to act as a synthon of isomeric tri-tert-butylphosphacyclobutadiene in the presence of a Lewis acid or transition-metal complex. When it is combined with a substoichiometric amount of triphenylborane, compound 1 forms a ladderane-type dimer of tri-tert-butylphosphacyclobutadiene in 72% isolated yield. Trapping of a generated intermediate was achieved by repeating the experiment in the presence of excess styrene (20 equiv) or ethylene (1 atm), and the corresponding [4 + 2] cycloadducts of tri-tert-butylphosphacyclobutadiene were isolated in 88% and 74% yields, respectively. The platinum complex (Ph3P)2Pt(C2H4) also reacts with 1 to form an orange η2 complex of tri-tert-butylphosphacyclobutadiene in 80% isolated yield. Additionally, we report a novel method for generating a phosphinidenoid species via fluoride-induced trimethylsilyl fluoride elimination, leading to an improved preparative procedure for 1 (182 mg, 33% isolated yield).

Abstract
A series of octamethylcalix[4]pyrrole/ruthenium phosphinidene complexes (Na2[1=PR]) can be accessed by phosphinidene transfer from the corresponding RPA (A = C14H10, anthracene) compounds (R = tBu, iPr, OEt, NH2, NMe2, NEt2, NiPr2, NA, dimethylpiperidino). Isolation of the tert-butyl and dimethylamino derivatives allowed comparative studies of their 31P nuclear shielding tensors by magic-angle-spinning solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Density functional theory and natural chemical shielding analyses reveal the relationship between the 31P chemical shift tensor and the local ruthenium/phosphorus electronic structure. The general trend observed in the 31P isotropic chemical shifts for the ruthenium phosphinidene complexes was controlled by the degree of deshielding in the δ11 principal tensor component, which can be linked to the σRuP/πRuP* energy gap. A "δ22-δ33 crossover" effect for R = tBu was also observed, which was caused by different degrees of deshielding associated with polarizations of the σPR and σPR* natural bond orbitals.

Abstract
Dibenzo-7-phosphanorbornadiene-substituted diazene MesN2PA (1, where Mes = mesityl, A = anthracene, or C14H10), a synthetic equivalent of mesitylphosphaazide (MesN2P) and anthracene, was synthesized by treatment of [Ph3BPA][Na(OEt2)2] with [MesN2]OTf (OTf = CF3SO3-) in thawing tetrahydrofuran (14% isolated yield). Treatment of 1 with unsaturated molecules cyclooctyne, [Na(dioxane)2.5][OCP] (phosphaethynolate), and Ad-C≡P (Ad = adamantyl) results in the corresponding [3 + 2] phosphaazide-(phospha)alkyne cycloadducts, with concomitant loss of anthracene in 65%, 49%, and 38% isolated yield, respectively. Structural data for the phosphaethynolate cycloadduct ([3][Na(12-crown-4)2]) were obtained in a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. A diazatriphosphole was generated by combining 1 with P2A2, a thermally activated anthracene-based molecular precursor to diphosphorus (P2). Thermolysis (33-65 °C) of 1 in benzene-d6 leads to anthracene extrusion. This process has a unimolecular kinetic profile and proceeds with activation parameters of ΔH⧧ = 21.6 ± 0.3 kcal/mol and ΔS⧧= -4.9 ± 0.8 cal/(mol K).

Abstract
Terminal, electrophilic phosphinidene complexes (M=PR) are attractive platforms for PR-transfer to organic substrates. In contrast to aryl- or alkylphosphinidene complexes terminal chlorophosphinidenes (M=PCl) have only been proposed as transient intermediates but isolable example remain elusive. Here we present the transfer of PCl from chloro-substituted dibenzo-7λ3-phosphanorbornadiene to a square-planar osmium(II) PNP pincer complex to give the first isolable, terminal chlorophosphinidene complex with remarkable thermal stability. Os=P bonding was examined computationally giving rise to highly covalent {OsII=PICl} double bonding.

Abstract
We report on the (tert-butyl)isocyanide-catalysed isomersation of a phosphaethynolato-borane, [B]OCP ([B] = N,N′-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3,2-diazaboryl), to its linkage isomer, a phosphaketenyl-borane, [B]PCO. Mechanistic insight into this unusual isomerisation was gained through a series of stoichiometric reactions of [B]OCP with isocyanides and theoretical calculations at the Density Functional Theory (DFT) level. [B]PCO decarbonylates under photolytic conditions to afford a novel boryl-substituted diphosphene, [B]P
