Challenging an old paradigm by demonstrating transition metal-like chemistry at a neutral nonmetal center

Abstract We describe nonmetal adducts of the phosphorus center of terminal phosphinidene complexes using classical C- and N-ligands from metal coordination chemistry. The nature of the L-P bond has been analyzed by various theoretical methods including a refined method on the variation of the Laplac...
