On the coordination chemistry of phosphinecarboxamide: assessing ligand basicity.

We describe the coordination chemistry of the primary phosphine PH2C(O)NH2 (phosphinecarboxamide) towards group 6 transition-metals. Experimental and theoretical studies reveal that this novel species has comparable electronic properties to PH3.
