Abstract
Metal clusters featuring carbon and sulfur donors have coordination environments comparable to the active site of nitrogenase enzymes. Here, we report a series of di-iron clusters supported by the dianionic yldiide ligands, in which the Fe sites are bridged by two μ2-C atoms and four pendant S donors.The [L2Fe2] (L = {[Ph2P(S)]2C}2-) cluster is isolable in two oxidation levels, all-ferrous Fe2II and mixed-valence FeIIFeIII. The mixed-valence cluster displays two peaks in the Mössbauer spectra, indicating slow electron transfer between the two sites. The addition of the Lewis base 4-dimethylaminopyridine to the Fe2II cluster results in coordination with only one of the two Fe sites, even in the presence of an excess base. Conversely, the cluster reacts with 8 equiv of isocyanide tBuNC to give a monometallic complex featuring a new C-C bond between the ligand backbone and the isocyanide. The electronic structure descriptions of these complexes are further supported by X-ray absorption and resonant X-ray emission spectroscopies.

Abstract
Although ylides are commonly used reagents in organic synthesis, the parent methylphosphine MePH2 only exists in its phosphine form in the condensed phase. Its ylide tautomer H3 P+ -CH2 - is considerably higher in energy. Here, we report on the formation of bis(sulfonyl)methyl-substituted phosphines of the type (RO2 S)2 C(H)-PR2, which form stable PH ylides under ambient conditions, amongst the first examples of an acyclic phosphine which only exists in its PH ylide form. Depending on the exact substitution pattern the phosphines form an equilibrium between the PH ylide and the phosphine form or exist as one of both extremes. These phosphines were found to be ideal starting systems for the facile formation of α-carbanionic phosphines. The carbanion-functionalization leads to a switch from electron-poor to highly electron-rich phosphines with strong donor abilities and high basicities. Thus, the phosphines readily react with different electrophiles exclusively at the phosphorus atom and not at the carbanionic center. Furthermore, the anionic nature of the phosphines allows the formation of zwitterionic complexes as demonstrated by the isolation of a gold(I) complex with a cationic metal center. The cationic gold center allows for catalytic activity in the hydroamination of alkyne without requiring a further activation step.

Abstract
![]()
The use of the bis(1-piperidinyl)-substituted carbodiphosphorane
(Ph2(Pip)P)2C (1) as an NCN ligand for the
stabilization of phosphorus cations was studied. A simple ligand for halide exchange
allowed the synthesis and isolation of a series of phosphorus monocations of the type
[1-PR2]+ (with R = Cl, Br, I, CyCl, Ph). These
cations exhibit characteristic NMR and structural properties which nicely correlate with
the charge at the central phosphorus atom and the interaction between the ligand and the
PR2 moiety. Halide abstraction from the monocations does not result in
isolable dicationic compounds but in an unexpected intramolecular
Csp3–H activation in the piperidinyl group. DFT studies
show that the selective activation of the CH2 group next to the nitrogen atom
instead of a CH group at the phenyl substituents proceeds via an iminium intermediate
formed by hydride transfer from the carbon atom to the cationic phosphorus center. This
observation clearly demonstrates the pronounced π acidity of the dicationic
phosphorus species in comparison to compounds with a further π-donor
substituent.

Abstract
Herein, we present a series of hexaphenyl carbodiphosphorane (CDPPh) adducts of heavier group 15 trichlorides ECl3 (E = P-Bi). The reaction with PCl3 yields the known salt [CDPPh-PCl2][Cl] ([1][Cl]), the heavier element trichlorides ECl3 (E = Sb (4), Bi (5)) give the neutral adducts CDPPh-ECl3 which were characterised crystallographically and spectroscopically. The reaction of CDPPh with AsCl3 does not yield CDPPh-AsCl3 (2), but in the presence of GaCl3 the corresponding salt [CDPPh-AsCl2][GaCl4] ([3][GaCl4]) is formed. DFT (density functional theory) calculations were carried out to examine the molecular frontier orbitals in 1+-5. Additional reactivity studies revealed an intramolecular electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) in 1+, which represents an excellent starting point for further selective C-P bond formation reactions.

Abstract
A synthetic strategy for the preparation of novel doubly yldiide bridged iron(II) high spin dimers ([(μ2-C)FeL]2, L = N(SiMe3)2, Mesityl) has been developed. This includes the synthesis of ylide-iron(II) monomers [(Ylide)FeL2] via adduct formation. Subsequent self-protolysis at elevated temperatures by in situ deprotonation of the ylide ligands results in a dimerization reaction forming the desired bridging μ2-C yldiide ligands in [(μ2-C)FeL]2. The comprehensive structural and electronic analysis of dimers [(μ2-C)FeL]2, including NMR, Mössbauer, and X-ray spectroscopy, as well as X-ray crystallography, SQUID, and DFT calculations, confirm their high-spin FeII configurations. Interestingly, the Fe2C2 cores display very acute Fe-C-Fe angles (averaged: 78.6(2)°) resulting in short Fe···Fe distances (averaged: 2.588(2) Å). A remarkably strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the Fe centers has been identified. Strongly polarized Fe-C bonds are observed where the negative charge is mostly centered at the μ2-C yldiide ligands.

Abstract
This review is dedicated to the chemistry of stable and isolable species that bear two lone pairs at the same C center, i.e., geminal dianions, stabilized by main group elements. Three cases can thus be considered: the geminal-dilithio derivative, for which the two substituents at C are neutral, the yldiide derivatives, for which one substituent is neutral while the other is charged, and finally the geminal bisylides, for which the two substituents are positively charged. In this review, the syntheses and electronic structures of the geminal dianions are presented, followed by the studies dedicated to their reactivity toward organic substrates and finally to their coordination chemistry and applications.
