Snapshots of sequential polyphosphide rearrangement upon metallatetrylene addition.

ABSTRACT: Insertion and functionalization of gallasilylenes [L^PhSi-Ga(Cl)L^BDI] (L^Ph = PhC(NtBu)₂; L^BDI = [{2,6-iPr₂C₆H₃NCMe}₂CH]) into the cyclo-E₅ rings of [Cp*Fe(η⁵-E₅)] (Cp* = η⁵-C₅Me₅; E = P, As) are reported. Reactions of [Cp*Fe(η⁵-E₅)] with gallasilylene result in E-E/Si-Ga bond cleavage and the insertion of the silylene in the cyclo-E₅ rings. [(L^PhSi-Ga(Cl)L^BDI){(η⁴-P₅)FeCp*}], in which the Si atom binds to the bent cyclo-P₅ ring, was identified as a reaction intermediate. The ring-expansi
