Redox-active ligands work in tandem with transition metal centers to facilitate the multi-electron redox transformations required for the activation and functionalization of small molecule substrates.  Most redox active ligands to date are derived from either diimines or 1,2-disubsituted benzene rings and involve combinations of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur donors.  Investigation of a new bidentate redox active ligand containing amido and phosphido donors will be presented. Specifically, coordination to CuII leads to a dimeric CuI P-P coupled product via ligand oxidation, and this reaction will be discussed.
