Dimethyldioxirane oxidation of phosphide PMo[N(R)Ar] 3 [R = C(CD 3 ) 2 Me, Ar = C 6 H 3 Me 2 -3,5] efficiently provides (OP)Mo[N(R)Ar] 3 , a complex shown by X-ray crystallography to contain a terminal phosphorus monoxide ligand, and which reacts with dimethylzirconocene to give addition of a Zr–Me bond across the phosphoryl moiety.
