(R)-2,2′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-6,6′-bis(tridecafluoro-n-hexyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl

Abstract

The mol­ecule of the title compound, C56H30F26P2, is located on a twofold axis perpendicular to the central C—C bond of the binaphthyl group and the P atoms have the typical pseudo‐tetra­hedral geometry found for compounds of this type.
