A way to the first transition-metal-substituted (fluorosilyl)phosphanes (R2Si(F)P(H)-M) and a P-ferrio phosphasilene (R2Si=P-M) is reported. The bulkily substituted metal phosphido complexes [Is2Si(F)P(H)-M] 1a-c (M = (C5H5)Fe(CO)2, (C5Me5)Fe(CO)2, (C5Me5)Ni(PPh3); Is = 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl) were prepared in good yields (68-76%) by salt condensation reactions of the corresponding (fluorosilyl)phosphanide 2 with metal bromides. They were characterized by means of NMR and IR spectroscopy and, with the exception of 1a, by X-ray structure analyses. They do not react with RLi bases (R = nBu, tBu, NiPr2) to give the desired P-lithium phosphanide precursors 3a-c; instead, nucleophilic M-P bond cleavage was observed. Thus, thermolabile [Is2Si(F)P[Li(thf)3]-Fe(CO)2(C5H5)] 3a was prepared via the tin/lithium exchange reaction starting from [Is2Si(F)P(SnMe3)-Fe(CO)2(C5H5)] 6a and nBuLi in THF. Thermolysis of 3a in hexane affords, upon LiF elimination, [Is2Si=P-Fe(CO)2(C5H5)] 7. Although 3a and 7 could not be isolated, their structures were unambiguously proven by characteristic 31P and 29Si NMR data and the composition of 7 was established by high resolution mass spectrometry. Furthermore, the ferriosilyl phosphanes [Is2Si(F)P(H)-SiMe(R)Fe(CO)2(C5H5)] 8a (R = Me) and 8b (R =tBu) were prepared and the crystal structure of 8b was elucidated. These compounds and their P-SnMe3 derivatives could not be transformed into phosphasilene derivatives.
