Abstract
For a long time, the small group of cationic ligands stood out as obscure systems within the general landscape of coordinative chemistry. However, this situation has started to change rapidly during the last decade, with more and more examples of metal-coordinated cationic species being reported. The growing interest in these systems is not only of purely academic nature, but also driven by accumulating evidence of their high catalytic utility. Overcoming the inherently poor coordinating ability of cationic species often required additional structural stabilization. In numerous cases this was realized by functionalizing them with a pair of chelating side-arms, effectively constructing a pincer-type scaffold. This comprehensive review aims to encompass all cationic ligands possessing such pincer architecture reported to date. Herein every cationic species that has ever been embedded in a pincer framework is described in terms of its electronic structure, followed by an in-depth discussion of its donor/acceptor properties, based on computational studies (DFT) and available experimental data (IR, NMR or CV). We then elaborate on how the positive charge of these ligands affects the spectroscopic and redox properties, as well as the reactivity, of their complexes, compared to those of the structurally related neutral ligands. Among other systems discussed, this review also surveys our own contribution to this field, namely, the introduction of sulfonium-based pincer ligands and their complexes, recently reported by our group.

Abstract
The reaction of cyclopentaphosphine cyclo-(P5 Ph5 ) (1) with ketones (acetone and cyclooctanone) in the presence of [Mo(CO)4 (cod)] (cod=cycloocta-1,5-diene) led to air-stable trinuclear complexes in which the bis-phosphanido ligands (PPh-PPh-PPh-PPh-CMe2 O-PPh)2- (complex 2) and (PPh-PPh-PPh-PPh-C(CH2 )7 O-PPh)2- (complex 3) bridge a Mo(CO)3 -Mo(CO)3 unit. This extends the reaction of 1 with transition metal carbonyl complexes to further substrates and represents the first examples of insertion of carbonyl compounds into the P-P bond of cyclic oligophosphorus compounds. Complexes 2 and 3 have been characterized by 31 P NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Furthermore, the thermal properties of the obtained complexes have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fast scanning calorimetry (FSC).

Abstract
The synthesis and reactivity of sterically demanding phosphaarsanes TerR1P-AsR2 (3) is described. These species were selectively synthesized via metathesis reactions of Ter-stabilized [Ter = 2,6-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)phenyl] potassium phosphides TerR1PK (1) with the N-heterocyclic chloroarsane ClAs{N(tBu)CH2}2 (2). Conversion of the n-butyl-substituted phosphaarsane 3c with the reactive heterocumulene CS2 leads to an insertion into the P-As bond, yielding the phosphane arsanyldithiocarboxylate TerR1P-C(S)S-AsR2 (4c) as a new structural motif. Because full conversion of 3c with CS2 requires long reaction times, an alternative synthetic route is reported herein, involving the conversion of 2 with phosphane dithiocarboxylates TerR1-C(S)SK (5), enabling synthetic access to a wider range of phosphane arsanyldithiocarboxylates. These interpnictogen dithiocarboxylates show an interesting bonding situation with a significantly elongated As-S bond due to negative hyperconjugation within the molecule. All products along the reaction path were fully characterized.

Abstract
This Perspective gives an account of the peculiar electronic and molecular structures of N-heterocyclic phosphines featuring either a single 1,3,2-diazaphospholene (DAP) ring with an exocyclic P-substituent X or two DAP rings linked by a P-P bond (bis-diazaphospholenyls), respectively, and their impact on the chemical properties of these molecules. The bonding situation in simple DAPs is epitomized by strong hyperconjugation between endocyclic π-type electrons and the exocyclic P-X bond. This interaction may induce a perceptible ionic polarization of the P-X bond which can persist even in the limit of a vanishing electronegativity gradient between P and X, and becomes visible in unusual geometric distortions of molecular structures and a unique chemical behaviour. Structural distortions are particularly evident in bond lengthening effects in P-halogen and P-phosphino derivatives R2P-DAP (with R2P ≠ DAP) which span the whole range from covalent molecules to contact ion pairs with a close relation to frustrated Lewis-pairs. The most significant impact on the chemical properties is found for P-phosphino- and P-hydrogen derivatives where reactions at substantially accelerated rates or totally new reaction modes can be observed, and new stoichiometric and first catalytic processes exploiting these features are currently emerging. The recently discovered bis-diazaphospholenyls differ from the simple derivatives as their central bond remains unpolarised as a consequence of the symmetric molecular structure. The occurrence of low-energy P-P bond homolysis that was nonetheless observed in one case is according to the results of thermochemical studies of P-P bond fission reactions attributable to the effects of steric congestion and induces chemical reactivity that can be considered complementary to that of the simple R2P-DAPs. Some concluding remarks will pay attention to a facet of DAP reactivity that has so far been widely neglected but is currently receiving increasing attention, namely well-defined ring-opening processes.

Abstract
The interest in geometrically distorted or electronically polarized molecules is often motivated by the realization that unusual structures can engender unprecedented physical or chemical properties. 1,3,2-Diazaphospholenes are N-heterocyclic phosphines (NHPs) that have ring structures similar to N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs). Although NHPs were initially mainly of interest as precursors for carbene-analogous phosphenium cations, it was noted that they exhibit quite peculiar structural features and remarkable chemical behavior on their own. In this Account, we discuss both structure and chemistry in connection with the special bonding situation that is characterized by significant n(N)-σ*(P-X) hyperconjugation and induces a strong ionic polarization of the P-X bonds. This induced polarization is surprisingly maintained even when P and X have similar or like electronegativities (for example, X = H, P) and offers the possibility to design compounds with polarized homonuclear bonds. An exemption from the general pattern was only noted for some P-amino-NHPs in which reverse hyperconjugation weakens endocyclic P-N bonds and was predicted to facilitate ring fragmentation and formation of phosphinidenes. An important corollary of the P-X bond polarization in NHPs is a unique bond lengthening, which not only can be fine-tuned by adjusting intramolecular steric and electronic interactions but also responds to intermolecular influences and solvent effects. Insight from crystallographic, spectroscopic, and computational studies allows the development of concepts for controlled manipulation of the bonding, up to a point where P-X bonds are dominated by electrostatic interactions and species behave as Lewis pairs rather than covalent molecules. An appealing aspect lies in the fact that this P-X bond polarization induces reactivities that have hardly any precedence in phosphine chemistry. Examples include (i) reactions of P-hydrogen-substituted NHPs as hydride transfer reagents, (ii) metatheses and additions to multiple bonds (diphosphination) of phosphino-NHPs, which can be used to catalyze P-C cross-coupling reactions and to synthesize 1,2-bisphosphine ligands, (iii) cyclopentadienyl (Cp) transfer reactions of P-Cp-NHPs, and (iv) metal insertion into the P-X bonds of P-halogeno-NHPs. In many aspects, these reactions have potentially useful mechanistic or synthetic implications, and their future exploitation might help to convert NHPs from academically interesting species into useful reagents.
