1,2-Bis(diisopropylphosphino)ethane (dippe) is a commonly used bidentate ligand in coordination chemistry. An efficient synthesis from the parent phosphine oxides has been published.^[1]

This compound is similar to the ligand 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), with the substitution of isopropyl groups for phenyl groups.
