We have synthesized Me PCH PR (R=Ph, t-Bu),MeP(CH PMe ) , P(CH PMe ) and mixed C l / t - B u and Me/CH SiMe diphos phinomethanes by various methods. Because of its s i m p l i c i t y and low steric require ments, we chose the methyl derivate Μe PCH ΡMe as model for these compounds. Examples for nucleophilic reactions of the phos phinomethanes are (1.): 2

Reaction (2) offers a new route to the preparation of Me PCH PMe , since the equilibrium may be shifted to the l e f t by hydrolysis of the s a l t . The ligand properties are very s i m i l a r to those of PMe i n electronic respects, but s t e r i c a l l y it i s much more favourable. Thus, whereas (PMe ) Fe is not known as an isolable complex, (2), (Me P) (Me PCH PMe )Fe i s a stable compound (no C-H-cleavage occurs!) The 2
