The use of phosphine ligands is necessary for nearly all homogeneous catalysis with precious-metals.  The choice of the right ligand can influence: the solubility of the active species the shielding and sterical properties of the catalyst the electron-density at the metal atom the reactivity of the catalyst in the catalytic cycle the enantioselectivity of the reaction (with chiral ligands) In the following brochure is a listing of all available phosphine ligands from Acros Organics grouped by the following criteria:

monodentate mono-, di- and triarylphosphines monodentate trialkylphosphines phosphine halogenides and ligand precursors bidentate, non-chiral phosphine ligands chiral phosphine ligands If you want to receive this brochure, send your e-mail to info@acros.com, mentioning your complete address and write 'phosphine ligands brochure' in the subject line.
