13-Bis(diphenylphosphino)propane (dppp) is a diphosphine often found as a ligand in coordination chemistry. The diphosphine can be prepared by the reaction of lithium diphenylphosphide and 13-dichloropropane. 2 Ph2PLi + C3H6Cl2 → Ph2PC3H6PPh2 + 2 LiClThe diphosphine is a precursor to the complex dichloro(13-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane)nickel which is prepared by combining equimolar portions of the ligand and nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate.
