A new, bidentate ligand based on an imine and fluorenyl functionalities separated by a three-atom spacer has been developed. The free ligand exists as three tautomers in C<sub>6</sub>D<sub>6</sub>, with the aniline-phosphaylide as the major form. Comparisons to other popular, bidentate ligands will be made and a alkali metal complexes (Li, Na, K) will be described.
