Transition Metal Substituted Phosphanes: Synthesis, Reactivity and Pyramidal Inversion

Abstract
The synthesis of transition metal substituted phosphanes C5H5(CO)2M-PPh2, C5H5(CO)2(Me3P)M-PPh2 (M [dbnd] Mo, W) and C5H5(CO)(Me3P)FePPhR (R [dbnd] Me, Ph) is described as well as their reactivity towards a series of electrophilic and oxidizing reagents.
