Bis(diphenylphosphinoethyl)phenylphosphine is the organophosphorus compound with the formula [Ph₂PCH₂CH₂]₂PPh (Ph = C₆H₅). It is an air-sensitive white solid that function as tridentate ligands in coordination and organometallic chemistry.

It is prepared by the free-radical-catalysed addition of phenylphosphine to vinyldiphenylphosphine:^[1]

2 Ph₂PCH=CH₂ + H₂PPh → [Ph₂PCH₂CH₂]₂PPh

It can bind to an octahedral metal center to give either a facial or meridional isomers. Some derivatives are square planar complexes of the type [MX(triphos)]⁺ (M = Ni, Pd, Pt; X = halide).
