Triphos is the name for certain organophosphorus ligands. They are air-sensitive white solids that function as tridentate ligands in coordination and organometallic chemistry.

Bis(diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine

Bis(diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine is called triphos, is a linear tridentate triphosphine. It is prepared by the free-radical-catalysed addition of phenylphosphine to vinyldiphenylphosphine:[1]

2 Ph2PCH=CH2 + H2PPh → [Ph2PCH2CH2]2PPh

This isomer of triphos is flexible and can bind to an octahedral metal center give either a facial or meridional isomers. Some derivatives are square planar complexes of the type [MX(triphos)]+ (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; X = halide).

1,1,1-Tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane

1,1,1-Tris(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethane is also called triphos. It is a tripodal ligand ("three-legged") of idealized C3v symmetry. It was originally prepared by the reaction of sodium diphenylphosphide and CH3C(CH2Cl)3:[2]

3 Ph2PNa + CH3C(CH2Cl)3 → CH3C[CH2PPh2]3 + 3 NaCl

It forms complexes with many transition metals, usually as a tripodal ligand.[3] Such complexes are used to analyze mechanistic aspects of homogeneous catalysts.[4] For example, rhodium forms complexes with CH3C[CH2PPh2]3 like [(triphos)RhCl(C2H4)], [(triphos)RhH(C2H4)], and [(triphos)Rh(C2H5)(C2H4)], provide model intermediates in the catalytic cycle for hydrogenation of alkenes.[5]

Triphos sometimes behaves as a bidentate ligand. Illustrative cases include fac-[Mn(CO)3Br(η2-triphos)] and [M(CO)42-triphos)], where M is Cr, Mo, or W. Triphos serves as a tridentate-bridging ligand in an icosahedral Au13 cluster. The phosphine bridges three chlorogold(I) groups to form the tripod molecule of trichloro-1,1,1-(diphenylphosphinomethyl)ethanetrigold(I), CH3C[CH2PPh2AuCl]3.[6]

Bis(diphenylphosphinophenyl)phenylphosphine

Like bis(diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine, bis(diphenylphosphinophenyl)phenylphosphine is a linear tridentate ligand, but it is more rigid and more air stable. It is prepared from o-lithiated triphenylphosphine:[7]

2 LiC6H4PPh2 + PhPCl2 → PhP[C6H4PPh2]2
