Abstract

The first terminal manganese phosphinidene complex was quantitatively synthesized from a terminal alkylborylene complex. Its structure and bonding, as well as the reaction mechanism, were investigated through a combination of experimental and computational studies.

Keywords: boranes; borylene complexes; iminophosphines; manganese complexes; phosphinidene complexes.
