✦ Synopsis
The structures of [RhCl(CO)(l)] and [PdC1,(1)], where 1 is the bidentate ligand (C6H5)2P . CH2 . ClsHlo . CH2 . P (C6H5),, have been determined from threedimensional X-ray counter data collected on single crystals of the C6H5. CN solvates. The two compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the triclinic system, space group P 1, Z = 2 : a= 14.580(8), b= 13.029(10), c= 11.909(6) A, a = 106.33 (5), p = 100.47 (4), y = 95.73 (5)" for the rhodium complex; a= 14.361 ( 5 ) , b= 13.044(7), c= 11.897(4) A, a = 105.97(4), p= 100.27(3), y=94.76(4)", for the palladium complex. In both complexes the metal atom is four-coordinate with slightly distorted square-planar configuration. In both cases the ligand 1 spans trans positions with M-P bond lengths in the ranges of the literature data. Also the other bond distances fall in regular ranges. Ligand 1 has almost the same conformation in both complexes and is characterized by a strong out-of-plane deformation of the benzophenanthrene system as a consequence of severe overcrowding.
Introduction. -The bidentate ligand 2 , l l -bis (diphenylphosphinomethy1)benzo-[clphenanthrene (1) easily forms mononuclear square-planar complexes [MX2 (l)] and [MX(CO)(l)], where M is a d8 transition metal ion (M=Pd(II), Pt(I1) [2] or Rh (I), Ir (I) [ 11 and X is a halide ion). These complexes show electronic and NMR. features characteristic of the square-planar complexes of these metal ions with monodentate phosphine ligands in trans-positions.
As these complexes are being used as models for reactions related to homogeneous catalytic processes, it was of interest to establish the detailed features of their molecular structures.

The X-ray crystal structures of 2,1l-bis(di-R-phosphinomethyl)benzo[c]phenanthrenes (R = Ph, t -Bu) are reported. Both ligands have the same conformation and the substitution of a Ph by a t -Bu group does not cause significant changes in the tetracyclic aromatic unit which shows the same distortions
