The isolable complex [Os(PHMes*)H(PNP)] (Mes*=2,4,6-<sup>t</sup> Bu<sub>3</sub> C<sub>6</sub> H<sub>3</sub> ; PNP=N{CHCHP<sup>t</sup> Bu<sub>2</sub> }<sub>2</sub> ) exhibits high phosphinyl radical character. This compound offers access to the phosphinidene complex [Os(PMes*)H(PNP)] by P-H proton coupled electron transfer (PCET). The P-H bond dissociation energy (BDE) was determined by isothermal titration calorimetry and supporting DFT computations. The phosphinidene product exhibits electrophi ...[more]
