M. Widhalm et G. Klintschar, RELATIVE AND ABSOLUTE-CONFIGURATIONS OF DIASTEREOMERIC MACROCYCLIC DIPHOSPHINE LIGANDS AND THEIR NI(II) COMPLEXES, Tetrahedron : asymmetry, 5(2), 1994, pp. 189-192
The 20 membered chiral diphospine ligands 5A-C were prepared under hig
h dilution conditions as a mixture of diastereomers. The absolute and
relative configurations could be established on the basis of NMR and C
D spectroscopy of the ligands and their Ni(II) complexes. The assignme
nt was confirmed by a crystal structure analysis of the Ni complex of
5B
