The synthesis of the chiral polyfunctional diphosphine salenophos 1 is described. The new ligand bearing hard and soft coordination sites chelates titanium (IV) as well as palladium (II) in a defined manner provided a certain order during the introduction of the two metals was kept. In this way the first chiral early-late heterobimetallic complex could be synthesized. It was fully characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structural analysis. Remarkable ...
