Abstract

The novel pincer ligand 2, 2′-bis (diphenylphosphino) diphenylamine (1) has been synthesized by treatment of 2, 2′-dibromodiphenylamine with n-butyl lithium and subsequent reaction with diphenylchlorophosphine. When ligand 1 is treated with RhCl3 hydrate the dinuclear complex 1a forms which can be converted into the square planar carbonyl complex 1c upon reduction with Na/Hg in the presence of CO. Depending on the ...
