phosphine ligands on transition metals generally tend to orient trans to one another in order to minimize steric interactions (ESPECIALLY so for bulky PR3 groups)...
under what conditions, if any, would BULKY PR3 ligands orient themselves in a cis formation? in other words... what other factors would take precedence over minimizing steric interactions?
