(η3-Allyl)(η5-cyclopentadienyl)palladium reacts with bis(diphenylphosphino)maleic anhydride to form a complex in which the C5H5 ligand is inserted into a P-C bond of the phosphine ligand. Reaction of this compound with iodine leads to a new type of phosphino ligand. The structure is studied by X-ray crystal structure analysis.
