Abstract
The interconversion barriers of 14 different 3,3′- and 5,5′-disubstituted tropos BIPHEP [2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-biphenyl] and BIPHEP(O) [2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphoryl)-1,1′-biphenyl] ligands were investigated by enantioselective dynamic high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) and DFT calculations using the B3LYP/6-31G* and M06-2X/6-31G* levels of theory. The experimentally determined enantiomerization barriers varied from 86.8 to 101.4 kJ mol–1 and were found to be in excellent agreement with the calculated data. The root-mean-square deviations are 7.3 kJ mol–1 for the B3LYP functional and 11.3 kJ mol–1 for the M06-2X method.
