Abstract
The reactivity of the terminal phosphinidene complex [Re(CO)5{η1-P(NiPr2)}]AlCl4 towards the oxidants S8 and Me3SnN3 has been investigated. These result in unprecedented four-electron oxidative addition reactions, affording complexes containing the P(V) ligands η1-P(=S)(Cl)(NiPr2) and η1-P(=NR)(Cl)(NiPr2), respectively. DFT calculations support the proposed mechanism.Key words: electrophilic phosphinidene, low coordinate phosphorus, rhenium, oxidative addition, P(I) ligand.
