The title complexes provide rare examples of the coordination of a phosphaalkene to a binuclear transition-metal fragment, and the reactivity of these complexes toward a variety of organic and inorganic reagents is reported. A DFT study suggests that the π=bond of the phosphaalkene moiety is essentially lost on coordination, with both the P=C π and π* orbitals being used in bonding to the dimetal core.
