The title compound, C36H27NOP2, has been reported as a ligand on rhodium for the catalysis of hydroformylation reactions. The key feature of the compound is the intramolecular P
P distance of 4.255 (2) Å. The bond angles at the P atoms range from 99.93 (10) to 103.02 (10)°. The phenoxazine ring system is essentially planar and a non-crystallographic mirror plane through the N
O vector bisects the molecule. The C-O bond lengths range from 1.388 (2) to 1.392 (2) Å and the C-N bond lengths range from 1.398 (3) to 1.403 (3) Å.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The titled compound, (1) (Fig. 1), is a xanthene based diphenylphosphine ligand. The synthesis of the ligand has been reported in literature (van der Veen et al., 2000; Petrassi et al., 2000; Antonio et al., 1989), in addition it is commercially available and has been used extensively in synthesis and as a precursor for the synthesis of substituted bis(diphenylphoshino)phenoxazine ligands (Osiński et al., 2005; Ricken et al., 2006a,b). However, this is the first time that the crystal structure is being reported. This ligand and similar xantphos based ligands have been used on Rh as catalysts for the regioselective hydroformylation of 1-octene to octanal (Claver & van Leeuwen, 2000; van der Veen et al., 2000). Moreover, (1) has been successfully immobilized on silica (Sandee et al., 2001, 1999; van Leeuwen et al., 2002), polystyrene (Deprele & Montchamp, 2004), and dendritic supports (Ricken et al., 2006a).
The title compound (1) was prepared following literature procedures (Antonio et al., 1989; Petrassi et al., 2000) as part of our ongoing investigation of scorpionate-type ligands by the alkylation of the amine. The structural elucidation of this compound allows for the determination of important ligand factors such as the cone angle (Tolman, 1977), and the flexibility range of the natural bite angle (van der Veen et al., 2000). It is also useful for studies of the coordination chemistry and catalytic applications of xantphos-type ligands. For example, the intramolecular P···P distance of 4.255 Å for (1) is similar to values reported for nixantphos-type ligands functionalized at the nitrogen (Osiński, et al., 2005; Ricken et al., 2006a,c) indicating that a functionality at N has little influence on the bite angle of the ligand.
