2-[2,2-Bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethylsulfanyl]phenylamine (NSPP), a new hetero-bifunctional ligand and its PdCl2 complex

Abstract

The new ligand NSPP consists of a bis(diphenylphosphanyl)ethane part with coordination ability by the two P donor atoms, and of a second part, the 2-aminobenzenethio unit, which offers the two donor atoms N and S for coordination with metal atoms. Both P atoms are attached to the same C atom of the central ethane skeleton. The other C atom is linked to the S atom of the thio group. PdCl 2 is coordinated via the two P donors to give the complex [Pd(NSPP)Cl 2 ]
