Abstract A detailed method for the preparation of [Cp′′ 2 Zr(η 1:1 ‐P 4 )] ( 1 ) is presented. The coordination behavior of 1 towards Lewis acidic transition metal complexes of tungsten, manganese, and iron, respectively, and main group compounds (AlMe 3 , AlEt 3 ) was investigated in detail by computational and experimental studies. In doing so, a series of unprecedented complexes with different coordination modes and multiple coordination numbers of the tetraphosphabicyclo[1.1.0]butane framework were synthesized. All products, as well as the starting materials, were comprehensively characterized by NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and single crystal X‐ray structural analysis.
