The reactions of lithiated diphosphanes with transition metal chlorides constitute a new general entry to phosphinophosphinidene complexes: the reaction of Cp2ZrCl2 (Cp=C5H5) with (Bu2P)-Bu-t-P(SiMe3)Li (molar ratio similar to1:1) yields [mu-(1,2:2-eta-(Bu2P)-Bu-t=P){Zr(Cl)Cp-2}(2)]; the reaction of Cp2ZrCl2 with (Bu2P)-Bu-t-P(SiMe3)Li (molar ratio similar to1:2) and an excess of PPhMe2 in DME yields the first terminally bonded phosphinophosphinidene complex, [{Zr(PPhMe2)Cp-2}(eta(1)-P-(PBu2)-Bu-t)].
