Probably the most common phosphorus‐containing molecule in interstellar clouds , PO, can now be synthesized in the Ni 2 W complex 1 through oxidation of the diphosphatrimetala cluster [{Cp 4 Ni} 2 {(CO) 4 W} P 2 ] by bis(trimethylsilyl)peroxide. As PO is the “heavy brother” of NO (see also the Highlight on p. 818), an interesting chemistry is anticipated for it.
