Two 1,5-diaza-3,7-diphosphacyclooctane (P2N2) ligands with alkyl-substituted phosphines have been synthesized via a versatile method that allows for improved control of the phosphine substituent. The methyl- and benzyl-substituted phosphine P2N2 ligands ((P2N2Ph)-N-Me and (P2N2Ph)-N-Bn) were synthesized and characterized by P-31H-1} NMR, H-1 NMR, and elemental analysis, and their corresponding [Ni((P2N2Ph)-N-R)(2)](BF4)(2) complexes were synthesized and characterized by P-31H-1) NMR, H-1 NMR, and electrochemistry. The structure of the complex [Ni((P2N2Ph)-N-Me)(2)](CF3SO3)(2) was characterized by X-ray crystallography.
