Novel molybdenum alkylidyne [(F{sub 3}C)Me{sub 2}CO]{sub 2}Mo(c-t-Bu)[N(Ar)P=C(H)C Me{sub 2}Ph] (Ar = 2,6-(i-PR){sub 2}C{sub 6}H{sub 3}; 3b) is formed in the reaction of tert-butylphosphaalkyne 2 with molybdenum alkylidene 1b. Alkylidyne 3b, which contains a formal (phosphaalkenyl)amido ligand, rearranges quantitatively at elevated temperature to form the alkoxide-shifted phosphamolybdacyclobutene 4b. Complexes 3b and 4b have been fully characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic analysis; cleavage of the P=V@C-t-Bu triple bond in complex 3b is confirmed. 22 refs., 2 figs.
