N‐Heterocyclic carbene‐phosphinidene complexes can be conceived as new and true members of the class of nucleophilic phosphinidene complexes according to their spectroscopic, structural, and electronic properties, since substitution of the aryl moiety in authentic neutral arylphosphinidene complexes of the type [ArP=ML n ] by an N‐heterocyclic carbene affords the corresponding cationic complexes [(NHC)P=ML n ] + with equally short and covalent metal–phosphorus double bonds.
