We will describe our ongoing investigations in the chemistry ambiphilic phosphine-carbenium and ligands-carbenium units. We will show that these ligands support the formation of atypical metal→C<sub>carbenium</sub> interactions while also readily influencing the catalytic reactivity of the transtion metal coordinated to the L-ligand. The presentation will conclude with a description of the unique photophysical properties of these complexes and the description of a new approach for the photoevolution of chlorine from high valent late transition metal complexes.
