Frontispiece: Coordination of N2 and Other Small Molecules to the Phosphorus Centre of RPW(CO)5: A Theoretical Study on the Janus Facets of the Stabilization/Activation Problem
Arturo Espinosa Ferao, Rainer Streubel
The Janus facets of stabilization (of the P1 unit) and activation (of the ligand) in ligand-stabilized electrophilic terminal phosphinidene tungsten(0) complexes have been studied with regard to the nature, strength and stability of the pnictogen (ligand-to-phosphorus) interaction. Dinuclear complexes containing bridging ligands between two P centres show intertwined terminal W(CO)5 fragments. The case of N2 serves as example of activation as the resulting dinuclear complex displays a remarkably weakened N,N bond and two sets of very strong P,N double bonds. For more details, see the Full Paper by A. Espinosa Ferao and R. Streubel on page 8632 ff.
