The chemistry of terminal phosphinidene complexes is deep and rich. Despite the synthetic utility of these highly reactive species, their chemistry is still underdeveloped when compared to both organophosphorus compounds and other low-valent species such as carbenes and nitrenes. In this dissertatio...
