M. D. Jones, F. A. Almeida Paz, J. E. Davies and B. F. G. Johnson

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [(S)-(-)-BINAP] or C₄₄H₃₂P₂, is enantiomorphous to the previously reported (R)-(+)-BINAP [Deeming et al. (1997). Organometallics, 16, 6004-6009], with effectively no differences in the molecular geometry apart from being of opposite absolute configuration.
