The development of selective functionalization strategies of white phosphorus (P<sub>4</sub>) is important to avoid the current chlorinated intermediates. The use of transition metals (TMs) could lead to catalytic procedures, but these are severely hampered by the high reactivity and unpredictable nature of the tetrahedron. Herein, we report selective first steps by reacting P<sub>4</sub> with a metal anion [Cp*Fe(CO)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>-</sup> (Cp*=C<sub>5</sub>(CH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>5</sub>), whic ...[more]
