Phosphine ligand complexes have been utilized in the formation C-H, C-C and even C-X bonds. These bidentate phosphate ligands can be extremely difficult to modify, increasing cost also limiting use and tunability. We have looked to develop simple monodentate phosphines from commercially available chemicals. These can then be coordinated in situ to a metal scaffold to form complex and tuneable bidentate ligands.
