A straightforward synthesis of cyclopropenylidene-stabilized phosphenium cations 1a-g through the reaction of [(iPr(2)N)(2)C3+Cl]BF4 with secondary phosphines is described. Their donor ability was evaluated by analysis of the CO stretching frequency in Rh complexes [RhCl(CO)L-2](BF4)(2) and electrochemical methods. The cyclopropenium ring induces a phosphite-type behavior that can be tuned by the other two substituents attached to the phosphorus atom. Despite of the positive charge that they bear, phosphenium cations 1a-g still act as two-electron donor ligands, forming adducts with Pd-II and Pt-II precursors. Conversely, in the presence of Pd-0 species, an oxidative insertion of the Pd atom into the C-carbene-phosphorus bond takes place, providing dimeric structures in which each Pd atom is bonded to a cyclopropenyl carbene while two dialkyl/diaryl phosphide ligands serve as bridges between the two Pd centers. The catalytic performance of the resulting library of Pt-II complexes was tested; all of the cationic phosphines accelerated the prototype 6-endo-dig cyclization of 2-ethynyl-1,1-biphenyl to afford pentahelicene. The best ligand 1g was used in the synthesis of two natural products, chrysotoxene and epimedoicarisosideA.
