# 1,5-Bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane

1,5-Bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane is an organophosphorus compound with the formula $C_{29}H_{30}P_2.$ It can be prepared by reacting 1,5-dibromopentane with lithium diphenylphosphide, or diphenylphosphine in presence of caesium hydroxide. It reacts with copper(I) iodide to give a luminescent dinuclear complex $[CuIPh_2P(CH_2)_5PPh_2]_2.$
