Chemistry of sterically demanding dppf-analogs
Subhayan Dey, Rudolf Pietschnig
Abstract
Recent advances in the chemistry of bulky bisphosphane ligands related to the dppf motif are summarized in this review covering the literature from 1981 to 2020 related to over 220 original references. Besides synthetic aspects outlining the synthesis of such compounds, structural features are discussed along with their implications for the electronic situation and donor properties. Together with the steric situation the latter are combined to elucidate trends in the catalytic performance of such compounds either acting as ligands or on their own merits.
