Just say NNO: Reaction of [ t Bu 3 PN 2 O(B(C 6 H 4 F) 3 )] with 1, 1.5, or 2 equivalents of Zn(C 6 F 5 ) 2 affords the species [{ t Bu 3 PN 2 OZn(C 6 F 5 ) 2 } 2 ], [{ t Bu 3 PN 2 OZn(C 6 F 5 ) 2 } 2 Zn(C 6 F 5 ) 2 ], and [ t Bu 3 PN 2 O{Zn(C 6 F 5 ) 2 } 2 ] (see structure; red Zn (large sphere), O (small sphere), green N, yellow P) displaying unique binding modes of Zn to the phosphine‐stabilized N 2 O fragment.
