Reduction of mer ‐Cl 3 W(ODipp) 3 with Na/Hg in the presence of P 4 in toluene afforded the orange complex (η 3 ‐P 3 )W(ODipp) 3 ( δ     31 P= –156 ppm, 10 % isolated yield). Unlike the valence‐isoelectronic anion [(η 3 ‐P 3 )Nb(ODipp) 3 ] – , treatment with AsCl 3 of the neutral (η 3 ‐P 3 )W(ODipp) 3 did not transfer the cyclo ‐P 3 ligand to generate AsP 3 . Instead, this complex underwent aryloxide ligand transfer to form the red complex (η 3 ‐P 3 )W(Cl)(ODipp) 2 (THF) ( δ     31 P= –143 ppm, 32 % isolated yield).
