Chemical Properties

1,1'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene is deep yellow crystalline powder

Uses

suzuki reaction. 1,1'-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene acts as a ligand in homogeneous catalysis.

General Description

Novel functionalized furan derivatives were prepared via Pd-phosphine sequential C-C and C-O bond formation. 1,1′-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene (dppf) finds the increasing use in coordination chemistry, catalysis, and materials science as stable, redox-active, conformationally flexible diphosphine ligand.

Purification Methods

Wash it with distilled H2O and dry it in a vacuum. Dissolve it in ca 5 parts of hot dioxane and cool to give orange crystals m 181-183o. Recrystallisation from *C6H6/heptane (1:2) gives a product with m 183-184o. [Bishop et al. J Organomet Chem 27 241 1971.]
