POCOP is a popular type of pincer ligand. Pincer type ligands are tridentate ligands that bind three sites on one plane of a metal complex. POCOP forms complexes with one M-C(aryl) bond and two phosphinite ligands. The term POCOP is used both for the ligand with formula C6H4(OPPh2)2 and its complexes with formula C6H3(OPPh2)2]- (Ph = C6H5)
