The 2,6-diisopropylphenyl group, abbreviated Dipp, is an aromatic functional group in organic chemistry. It offers considerable steric bulk, making it of interest for researching unstable compounds and designing ligands in organometallic chemistry.
A major source of diisopropylphenyl substituents is 2,6-diisopropylaniline. Diisopropyl compounds may also be prepared from halobenzene derivatives such as 2,6-diisopropylbromobenzene.[1]

The diisopropylphenyl structure consists of alkane-substituted benzene, so it is not very chemically reactive. It serves instead to provide steric hindrance, limiting reactions of other nearby functional groups.
The diisopropylphenyl structure is found in many ligands calling for steric bulk. NacNac ligands can be prepared from 2,6-diisopropylaniline. Terphenyl ligands featuring two diisopropylphenyl substituents, systematically bis(diisopropylphenyl)phenyl, are capable of stabilising high-bond order compounds such as dimetallenes.[2] The first stable digermyne was prepared using DIPP-based terphenyl ligands.[3]
