Several SPANphos ligands based on a spirobichroman backbone, introduced as a putative trans ligand, form compounds of the type [Rh(nbd)(SPANphos)]BF 4 (1-6) in which both norbornadiene and SPANphos act as cis chelating ligands. The cyclooctadiene rhodium chloride derivatives form bimetallic complexes. Crystal structures for several of these compounds and free ligands are reported. Semiemperical AM1 and DFT calculations show that spirobichroman can assume several conformations, some of which are suitable for the formation of cis chelating SPANphos. All calculations on SPANphos complexes of PdCl 2, PtCl2 and Rh(CO)Cl show that the trans complex is more stable by 4-10 kcal mol-1. The cis conformation in 1-6 is enforced by the cis chelating norbornadiene ligand. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2006.

Exclusively trans coordination is exhibited by SPANphos, a C2-symmetric diphosphane ligand containing a spiro center, which can be easily synthesized in three steps from cheap reagents. The crystal structures of the ligand and of the complex [P
