What Are the Structural Characteristics of Triphos Ligands?
Triphos ligands typically consist of a central atom, often carbon or nitrogen, bonded to three phosphine groups (PR2, where R is an organic substituent). The three phosphine groups can be identical or different, providing a high degree of tunability. The tripodal arrangement allows for a facial coordination mode when bonded to a metal center, leading to unique electronic and steric properties.
