Bifunctional ligands have been used in a wide variety of catalytic transformations, such as asymmetric hydrogenation and functionalization of alkenes and alkynes.  Electron-poor ligands have been shown to be capable of altering the path of a catalytic cycle or increasing the rate of a particular reaction by increasing the rate of one of the steps in the cycle. This presentation describes the synthesis of  several metal complexes containing phosphines with perfluorinated alkyl substituents along with a basic substituent to create a bifunctional system.  The properties of the ligands, their complexes, and their catalytic activity will be discussed.
