An original approach involving a coupling in the gas phase between flash vacuum thermolysis (FVT) and UV-photoelectron spectroscopy (UV-PES) allowed the transient terminal electrophilic phosphanylidene complex [MeP=W(CO)5] to be characterized; this is the first direct observation of this P–Me deriva...
