  7-diphosphacyclooctane (P2N2) ligands with alkyl-substituted phosphines have been synthesized via a versatile method that allows for improved control of the phosphine substituent. The methyl- and benzyl-substituted phosphine P2N2 ligands (PMe2NPh2 and PBn2NPh2) were synthesized and characterized by 31P{1H} NMR

  1H NMR

  and elemental analysis

  and their corresponding [Ni(PR2NPh2)2](BF4)2 complexes were synthesized and characterized by 31P{1H} NMR

  1H NMR

  and electrochemistry. The structure of the complex [Ni(PMe2NPh2)2](CF3SO3)2 was characterized by X-ray crystallography.
