title: Isolation and characterization of stable, distinctly bent, trans-chelated bisphosphine palladium(0) species.
abstract: The novel ligands and (i-Pr-Rucaphos, Cy-Rucaphos) react with (tmeda)PdMe(2) yielding ethane and distinctly bent, trans-spanning bisphosphine chelated 14-electron palladium(0) species, which have been fully characterized, including single crystal X-ray diffraction.
