The long-chain diphosphine 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)octane, dpo, forms pseudo-tetrahedral complexes (X=Cl, Br, or I).Molecular-weight data indicate that is dimeric in chloroform, and thus contains bridging bidentate diphosphine ligands.The complex is diamagnetic and square planar.The donor properties of dpo are compared to those of 1,8-bis(diphenylphosphino)-3,6-dioxaoctane, a potentially P2O2 donor ligand.
