Anionic terminal one‐atom nitride, phosphide, and carbide complexes are excellent starting materials for the synthesis of ligands containing low‐coordinate phosphorus centers in the protecting coordination sphere of the metal complex. Salt‐elimination reactions with chlorophosphanes lead to phosphaisocyanide, iminophosphinimide, and diorganophosphanylphosphinidene complexes in which the unusual phosphorus ligands are stabilized by coordination. X‐ray structure analyses and density‐functional calculations illuminate the bonding in these compounds.
