31P NMR Chemical Shifts of Carbene–Phosphinidene Adducts as an Indicator of the π‐Accepting Properties of Carbenes

Beyond the Tolman electronic parameter: The 31P NMR chemical shifts of easily synthesized carbene–phenylphosphinidene adducts allow the determination of the relative π-acceptor properties of carbenes. In combination with the Tolman electronic parameter value, the relative pure σ-donation of carbenes can also be evaluated.
