Main-group and transition-metal complexes of bis(phosphinimino)methanides
Abstract
Bis(phosphinimino)methanides exhibit a wide variety of coordination chemistry with almost all elements in the periodic table. This critical review deals with the chemistry and coordination behavior of bulky monoanionic {CH(PPh2NR)2}− bis(phosphinimino)methanide and dianionic {C(PPh2NR)2}2− bis(phosphinimino)methanediide (R = SiMe3,
