Geminal dianions stabilized by hypervalents phosphors recently aroused a deep interest as carbene precursors for d0 metals and the lanthanides; however, the interactions between the main group elements, as the carbon, and these metals are considered as essentially ionic in nature and poorly directional, whereas the connections between the carbon and the metal in a common carbenic complex are usually described as being directional and partially covalent. The present work aims at synthesizing new complexes of group 3 metals, stabilized by a bis-(diphenylthiophosphinoyl)-methanediide. We intend here firstly to synthesize such species and model their electronic structure, secondly to study their reactivity for a better understanding of the mult...
