Abstract
Abstract Palladium(II) complexes of 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane (dph), 1,8-bis(disphenylphosphino)octane (dpo), 1,10-bis(disphenylphosphino)decane (dpd), and 1,12-bis(disphenylphosphino)dodecane (dpdop) have been isolated. The structures of the complexes seem to be a function of the length of the alkane chain between the donor atoms; generally dph bridges two palladium atoms and forms polymeric complexes, dpo and dpd bridge two palladium atoms and form dimeric 22- or 26-membered rings and dpod acts as a trans -chelating ligand and forms a monomeric complex containing a 15-membered ring.
