Book excerpt: The synthesis of P,N chelating ligands and their transition metals complexes has become increasingly attractive in the last few years owing to their intrinsic structural properties and broad applications. Such heterofunctional ligands possess a hard nitrogen donor with a soft phosphorus donor leading to considerable chemical and structural diversity and may generate hemilabile systems endowed with enhanced reactivity.1k, 1m We are particularly interested in thiazoline- and oxazoline-based phosphine systems, which are often active in catalytic ethylene oligomerisation. We are also interested in Pt(II) complexes derived from P,P functional ligands derived from Ph2PCH2PPh2 (dppm), which exhibit interesting luminescence properties.
