A series of chiral ortho-platinated and -palladated complexes derived from N,N,α-trimethylbenzylamine has been prepared. The dialkynylphosphane PhP(C CMe)2 coordinated regiospecifically as a P M monodentate ligand to these cyclometallated units in the positions trans to the nitrogen donors of the...
