Abstract The first complex with P 2 as an eight‐electron donor diphosphinidene ligand is 1 , which forms at room temperature from [Cp*(OC) 2 Re] 2 and P 4 (Cp*=C 5 Me 5 ). The by‐product of this reaction, which has a Re 2 P 2 butterfly structure, reacts with [W(CO) 5 (thf)] at room temperature to give two multinuclear complexes—one with a ReWP 2 tetrahedrane framework and 2 , whose six atoms Re 2 P 2 W 2 form a plane and in which the P 2 ligand of the butterfly complex is converted into two µ ‐P ligands.
