“…triphenylphosphine (PPh 3 ) is replaced by phosphine (PH 3 ) or trimethylphosphine (PMe 3 ). 17,18,22,25,26,28,29,36 This, as with the complete ligand removal approach, has the additional benet that conformational searching is simplied, as the torsions of the three phenyl groups per ligand give rise to a large number of local minima with similar energies. Nevertheless, it is well known that the electronic effects of the larger ligands are different from those of the smaller ones, for instance inductive effects, [36][37][38][39] and a computational truncation of the ligands will inuence the chemistry and therefore description of the catalytic properties in calculations.…”
