  ABSTRACT: A novel and simple synthetic way using NaBH4 in the mixure of H2O-THF was applied to prepare 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphinoborane)ethane, dppe(BH3)2, in high yield and purity. The phosphanylborohydride compound dppe(BH3)2 was isolated in the form of colorless crystals and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, 1H, 13C, 31P and 11B NMR spectroscopy. Prismatic colorless crystals of dppe(BH3)2 were obtained in monoclinic crystal system and space group P21 with two asymmetric units in the unit cell. Lattice parameters were: a = 11.657(2), b = 17.237(2), c = 12.764(2) Å, β = 98.735(14)°, 2535.0(7) Å3
