Attempts to prepare mixed M(0)/Ag+complexes with µ‐bridging P ligands by reaction of benzazaphosphole M(CO)5complexes1a–e(MW, Mo, Cr) with AgSbF6in THF lead to rapid ring‐opening polymerization of this ether at room temperature and, as shown for1a/AgSbF6, even at low temperature. Oxetane and epoxides (styrene oxide and cyclohexene oxide) polymerize even more vigorously in the presence of this initiator and require dilution with toluene to control the strongly exothermic reaction. Related P(III)W(CO)5/AgSbF6systems with Ph3P, (EtO)3P or 2,4,6‐triphenyl‐phosphinine ligands also initiate the THF polymerization, but less efficiently. Efforts to isolate the initiator complex in other solvents failed because of its high sensitivity to nucleophiles and provided2a,characterized by crystal structure analysis as the addition product of methanol at1a, although1aitself is stable towards MeOH. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
