The reaction of the arylchlorosilylene–NHC adduct ArSi(NHC)Cl [Ar=2,6‐Trip 2 ‐C 6 H 3 ; NHC=(MeC) 2 (NMe) 2 C] 1 with one molar equiv of LiPH 2 . dme (dme=1,2‐dimethoxyethane) affords the first 1,2‐dihydrophosphasilene adduct 2 (ArSi(NHC)(H)PH). The latter is labile in solution and can undergo head‐to‐tail dimerization to give [ArSi(H)PH] 2 3 and “free” NHC. Further stabilization of 2 by complexation with {W(CO) 5 } affords the isolable 1,2‐dihydrophosphasilene–tungsten complex 4 [ArSi(NHC)(H)P(H)W(CO) 5 ]. Additionally, the new 1‐silyl‐2‐hydrophosphasilene ArSi(NHC)(H)PSiMe 3 5 could be synthesized and structurally characterized. DFT studies confirmed that the SiP bond in 2 and 4 is mostly zwitterionic with drastically decreased double‐bond character.
