1,2-Bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane (dmpe) is a diphosphine ligand in coordination chemistry. It is a colorless, air-sensitive liquid that is soluble in organic solvents. With the formula (CH2PMe2)2, dmpe is used as a compact strongly basic spectator ligand (Me = methyl), Representative complexes include V(dmpe)2(BH4)2, Mn(dmpe)2(AlH4)2, Tc(dmpe)2(CO)2Cl, and Ni(dmpe)Cl2.[2]

Synthesis
It is synthesised by the reaction of methylmagnesium iodide with 1,2-bis(dichlorophosphino)ethane:[3]
- Cl2PCH2CH2PCl2 + 4 MeMgI → Me2PCH2CH2PMe2 + 4 MgICl
Alternatively it can be generated by alkylation of sodium dimethylphosphide.
The synthesis of dmpe from thiophosphoryl chloride has led to serious accidents and has been abandoned.[4]
Related ligands
- Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ethane, a bulkier analogue, which is also a solid.
- 1,2-Bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane, more air-stable than dmpe, but less basic.
- 1,2-Bis(dimethylphosphino)benzene, a more rigid analogue of dmpe.
- Tetramethylethylenediamine, the diamine analogue of dmpe.
