3{P(O)H})] ( 2 ). In solution, 2 has a fluxional behavior attributable to the four P atoms belonging to the tetraphosphorus moiety in 1 and exhibits a chemical exchange process involving the two PPh
2 moieties of the same bidentate ligand, as determined by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy experiments carried out at variable temperature. The mechanism of the reaction was investigated at the DFT level, which suggested a selective attack of an in‐situ generated OH
? anion on one of the non‐coordinated phosphorus atoms of the P
4 moiety. The reaction then evolves through an acid‐assisted tautomerization, which leads to the final compound 2 . Bonding analysis pointed out that the new unsubstituted P
3‐unit in the η
3‐P
3{P(O)H} moiety behaves as a triphosphallyl ligand.
