| Abstract: | Starting from 2,2-di-(p-hydroxyphenyl)propane and phenylphosphonic acid tetraethylamide we have prepared the first oligoarylenephosphonites with spatially separated phosphorus functionalities. We have studied the principal chemical properties of these compounds. We have shown the capacity of oligoarylenediphosphonites to coordinate with transition metals through one or all phosphorus atoms with formation of mono- and oligo complexes. We have found that monocomplexes can undergo degenerated metallotropic rearrangements.V. I. Lenin Moscow Pedagogical State University, 119883 Moscow, Russia.
