TL;DR: There has been a phenomenal increase in the study of the chemistry of transition metal complexes containing sulfur ligands over the past two decades as mentioned in this paper, and the major reason for this is the revitalization of chemistry of the unsaturated sulphur donor chelates.
Abstract: Publisher Summary Over the past two decades there has been a phenomenal increase in the study of the chemistry of transition metal complexes containing sulfur ligands. There are a number of reasons for this, the major one being the revitalization of the chemistry of the unsaturated sulphur donor chelates. These were used as early as the 1930s as analytical reagents for various metals. The interest in complexes of these ligand systems now embraces areas ranging from purely academic syntheses to large-scale industrial production. Almost every available physical technique has been utilized for the elucidation of the molecular and electronic structures and the kinetics manifested in these systems. The spiraling interest in the complexes of sulfur donor ligands has prompted number of excellent and frequently exhaustive reviews. Other reasons for the expansion of the field of dithiochelate chemistry have undoubtedly included the correlations of model complexes with biological systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, several transition metal complexes containing bidentate phosphine ligands are described, and a major complication in diphosphine complexes is the relative complexity of the ligands.
Abstract: Publisher Summary This chapter describes several transition metal complexes containing bidentate phosphine ligands. The bonding in metal–phosphine ligands due to the formation of π-type bonds between the metal and phosphorus atoms. Several techniques are used to study metal–phosphine complexes. These techniques include mass spectroscopy infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, electronic spectroscopy, electron spin resonance, and Mossbauer spectroscopy. A major complication in diphosphine complexes is the relative complexity of the ligands. When a diphosphine complexes with a metal ion, the electron density on the phosphorus atom changes, and the ligand is restricted in the conformation it can assume. Thus the vibrational spectra of the free and coordinated ligands differ.
