TL;DR: The transition metal coordination and organometallic chemistry of acyclic diphosphazane ligands has grown rapidly in the last two decades and a stage has been reached that permits a delineation of similarities and contrasts with the chemistry of Diphosphinomethane type ligands.

TL;DR: The water-soluble bis(phosphines) 1,2-bis[bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphino]benzene and 1, 2-bis [bis (hydroxyl methyl) phosphino]-ethane were synthesized in nearquantitative yields by the catalytic formylation of H2PC6H4PH2 and H2PCH2CH2PH2 in the presence of formaldehyde in aqueous media as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The reactions of cyclodiphosphazanes with Group 6 metal carbonyl derivatives have been investigated in this paper, where the stereochemistry of the ligand appears to play a significant role in determining its coordination behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, the coordination occurs through the phosphorus center(s) in the η1- or bridged bidentate(μ-) modes, where a phosphazene ring nitrogen atom is involved in coordination besides exocyclic nitrogen atoms.

TL;DR: The water-soluble triphosphine PhP[CH2CH2P(CH2OH)2]2 was synthesized by formylation of P-H bonds in the presence of formaldehyde and oxygen-free ethanol as discussed by the authors.
