Group ten late transition metals such as nickel, palladium and platinum in the presence of tertiary diphosphino ligands have shown to be effective catalysts due to the ligands' ability to stabilize these metals in low oxidation states. A series of phosphinoferrocene ligands have been investigated and their reaction chemistry has been studied with the goal to assess the role of the alkyl and aryl substituents. The stabilty and solution reactivity of some zerovalent diphosphino-carbonyl complexes of nickel, palladium and platinum will be discussed.
