Pushing the limits of electron donation for <i>cis</i>-chelating ligands <i>via</i> an alliance of phosphonium ylide and anionic abnormal NHC
The grafting of a -(CH<sub>2</sub>)<sub>2</sub>PR<sub>3</sub><sup>+</sup> moiety on an NHC ligand backbone in the Mn(I) complex [Cp(CO)<sub>2</sub>Mn(IMes)] followed by double deprotonation opens a route to bidentate ligands with extreme electron-donating character. Such remarkable electronic properties can even allow intramolecular sp<sup>2</sup> C-H functionalization in typically inert square-planar Rh(I) dicarbonyl complexes.
