The reversible reaction of H<sub>2</sub> with a bis-phosphenium complex of chromium provides a rare example of 3d transition metal/phosphenium cooperativity. Photolysis induces the activation of H<sub>2</sub> and yields a spectroscopically detectable phosphenium-stabilized (σ-H<sub>2</sub>)-complex, readily showing exchange with gaseous H<sub>2</sub> and D<sub>2</sub>. Further reaction of this complex affords a phosphine-functionalized metal hydride, representing a unique example of reversible H ...[more]
