Complexes of the type [(diphosphine)Cr(CO)(4)] (diphosphine = Ph(2)PN(iPr)PPh(2), Ar(2)PN(Me)PAr(2) or Ar(2)PCH(2)PAr(2) (Ar = 2-C(6)H(4)(MeO)) have been synthesised. In the solid state, these complexes show tight phosphine bite angles in the range 67.82(4) degrees to 71.

The unprecedented selective tetramerisation of ethylene to 1-octene was recently reported. In the present study various mechanistic aspects of this novel transformation were investigated. The unusually high 1-octene selectivity in chromium-catalyzed ethylene tetramerisation reactions is caused by the unique extended metallacyclic mechanism in operation.
