Reaction of 2> (cp=η5-cyclopentadienyl) with P(OR)3 ligands (R=Me, Et, or Bun) yields , 2>, and > complexes resulting from C-O bond cleavage.The former complexes were characterized by reaction with PPh3 which yields the acyl derivative.Reaction of 2> with PPr3 and PMe2Ph proceeds to yield a mixture of the substituted dimer and the hydrides (x=0 or 1) depending on the reaction conditions.The mechanisms of these reactions and the fluxionality of the substituted dimers are discussed.
