Complexation of (1-diphenylphosphino)cyclopropanecarbonitrile with palladium(II)

Abstract

(1-Diphenylphosphino)cyclopropanecarbonitrile 1 was synthesised by the reduction of a phosphine oxide; the interaction of 1 with (PhCN)2PdCl2 leads to 1:1 or 1:2 complexes depending on the ratio between the reactants.
