Eight's company : Disproportionation of [NbI(OC[ 2 Ad]Mes) 3 (thf)] in the presence of P 4 results in reductive coupling of two molecules of P 4 . The resulting complex, which features a niobium phosphinidene moiety, can subsequently be hydrolyzed (see picture; P orange, Nb blue, O red; 2 Ad=2‐adamantylidene; Mes=2,4,6‐Me 3 C 6 H 2 ).
