The novel phospha‐Grignard reagent Mg(PR′ 2 )X(thf) [R′ = SiMe 3 , X = Br ( 1 )/Me ( 1′ )] was synthesized and structurally characterized as the phosphide‐bridged dimer [ 1 ] 2 . The potential for this compound to behave as a redox‐friendly phosphide transfer reagent was probed by its reaction with group 4 metallocene compounds Cp 2 MCl 2 (M = Ti, Zr), resulting in phosphide transfer to zirconium, but reduction of the titanium centre to Ti III .
