3,7-Diacetyl-1,3,7-triaza-5-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane is a phosphine ligand and acetylized derivative of 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane that can be used:
- As a ligand in the synthesis of diiron dithiolate complexes of Fe-only hydrogenase to improve the hydro- and protophilicity of the active site.
- To prepare (η6-arene)-ruthenium(II) complex, which is employed as a catalyst in the reduction of allylic alcohols.
- As a ligand in the synthesis of water-soluble cis- andtrans-Pt(II) and Pd(II) metal complexes.
