Two for the price of one! Depending on the experimental conditions, two dramatically different diphosphanes can be obtained from diphenyl(2-phosphanylphenyl)phosphane and an α-cyclodextrin-derived dimesylate. The metal confining properties of the cavity-shaped ligands have been exploited to produce luminescent chelate [CuX(PP)] complexes (X=Cl, Br, I).
