The reaction of the diphosphine-phosphine oxide ligand [o-iPr 2P-(C6H4)]2P(O)Ph with Pd(PtBu 3)2 proceeds with cleavage of the Ph-P(O) bond to give an original κP,P(O),P-pincer complex. According to DFT calculations, this oxidative addition occurs via a three-center P,C ipso,Pd transition state. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2011.
