This presentation will describe the recent adavances we have made in the chemistry of ambiphilic ligands featuring a phosphine or a carbene as an L type unit and a carbenium ion as a Z type unit. In particular, we will show that these ligands support the formation of transition metal complexes featuring M→C+ dative bonds, the formation of which can be reversed through simple manipulation of the electron density at the metal center. We will also cover recent application of these ligands in light-driven catalysis.
