The novel pincer ligand 2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)diphenylamine (1) has been synthesized by treatment of 2,2'-dibromodiphenylamine with n-butyl lithium and subsequent reaction with diphenylchlorophosphine. When ligand 1 is treated with RhCl3 hydrate the dinuclear complex la forms which can be converted into the square planar carbonyl complex 1c upon reduction with Na/Hg in the presence of CO. Depending on the reaction conditions two different complexes were isolated when 1 reacts with [(COE)(2)RhCl](2). In THF the hydrochloro complex 1b and with n-butyl lithium the COE complex Id is generated. Interestingly, the formation of 1b represents a rare case of N-H oxidative addition to a late transition metal complex fragment. Compound 1c is observed upon reaction of the COE complex Id with carbon monoxide. Quantum chemical calculations at different levels of theory are in good agreement with the experimental structure of 1c. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
