Coordination and Catalytic Properties of a Semihomologous Dppf Congener, 1-(Diphenylphosphino)-1'-[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]ferrocene

Abstract

A novel ferrocene diphosphine, 1-(diphenylphosphino)-1'-[(diphenylphosphino)methyl]ferrocene (1), and its P-chalcogenide derivatives were prepared and structurally characterized. Coordination and catalytic properties of 1 were tested.
