The discovery of novel, multidentate phosphines with unique steric and electronic properties remains an important aspect of homogenous catalyst development.  Phosphine ligands that allow for substituent changes, either at the phosphorus atom, or on the ligand backbone, are particularly attractive for flexible steric and electronic tuning.  This talk will revolve around the syntheses of novel multidentate cyclic phosphine ligands that allow for easy modifications to aid in the development and understanding of transition-metal homogenous catalytic processes.
