The complex [W(CO)<sub>5sub>{PClPh<sub>2sub>}] reacts with AlCl<sub>3sub> to form a mixture of the phosphenium complex [W(CO)<sub>5sub>{PPh<sub>2sub>}][AlCl<sub>4sub>] and an isocarbonyl, with GaCl<sub>3sub> to form [W(CO)<sub>5sub>{PPh<sub>2sub>}][GaCl<sub>4sub>], and with silver trifluoromethanesulfonate to form [W(CO)<sub>5sub>{P(OSO<sub>2sub>CF<sub>3sub>)Ph<sub>2sub>}]. All three complexes react as strong P electrophiles, undergoing electrophilic substitution reactions with aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds, alkenes, and alkynes, to form aromatic and heteroaromatic phosphines, allyl phosphines, and alkynyl phosphines, respectively. Alkenes lacking cleavable γ-H atoms and internal alkynes undergo tandem electrophilic addition/substitution reactions, adding between the P and one of the phenyl rings to form fused P heterocycles. The newly formed phosphines can be removed from the tungsten complex by photolysis in the presence of bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane.
