SPANphos is an organophosphorus compound used as a ligand in organometallic and coordination chemistry. This compound is a rare example of a trans-spanning ligand and rigidly links mutually trans coordination sites. By virtue of its C₂-symmetric backbone, SPANphos forms a chiral cavity over the face of a square planar complexes, e.g. in MCl₂(SPANphos) (M = Pd, Pt).

Structure of PtCl₂(SPANphos)[1]

Synthesis

SPANphos can be prepared synthesized from relatively inexpensive reagents. In the first step 4,4,4',4',6,6'-hexamethyl-2,2'-spirobichromane is prepared via an acid-catalyzed reaction of p-cresol and acetone. The resultant spirocycle is halogenated with N-bromosuccinimide followed by lithium-bromide exchange using n-BuLi. Treatment of the resulting dilithio compound with chlorodiphenylphosphine completes the synthesis.[1]

Preparation of SPANphos from p-cresol

gollark: An AI designed to write optimized BF versions of itself will be far too confused by reality to wipe out humans.

gollark: We should make self-improving AIs in esolangs so that their internal models of things will be far enough from reality that they cannot destroy humanity.

gollark: What if your AI takes over the world or something?

gollark: Because caddy is being annoying, and because I cannot be bothered to try and work out how caddy v2 works, I'm switching some osmarks.tk services back to nginx.

gollark: They have to write code which works *very fast* (speed is such an issue that there are special expensive high-clocked xeon CPUs available, or at least were), and can throw tons of money at 1337 programmers.
