The first crystal structure determination of biphosphole–transition-metal complex: crystal structure of square-planer meso-[Pd(3,3′,4,4′-tetramethyl-1,1′-diphenyl-2 ,2′-biphosphole)2][BF4]2

Abstract

The first X-ray crystal structure determination of a biphosphole–transition-metal complex is reported; the square-planar palladium(II) complex has unique intramolecular π–π interaction between phenyl groups on chiral phosphorus atoms of two biphosphole ligands.
