[(silox)(3)M](2)(mu:eta(1),eta(1)-P(2)) (M = Nb, Ta) and [(silox)(3)Nb](2){mu:eta(2),eta(2)-((c)P(3)-(c)P(3))} from (silox)(3)M (M = NbPMe(3), Ta) and P(4) (silox = (t)Bu(3)SiO).
Complexes containing the mu:eta(1),eta(1)-P(2) binding mode of diphosphorus have been prepared, along with a P(6)-containing byproduct.
