New perthiophosphonic acid anhydrides (R-PSJ, with R = 2,4,6-tri-isopropyIphenyI and 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-methylphenyl haw been prepared. For the latter case, the isolation of the monomer (n = I ) , the 2,4-di-tertbutyl-6-methyIphe~zyI-dithioxophosphorane, and both dimers (n = 2), cis-and trans-2,4-bis(2,4-di-tertbutyl-6-methylphenyl)-2,4-dithioxo-l, 3,2,4-dithiadiphosphetane, of one perthiophosphonic acid anhydride has been perfonned for the first time. The crystal structure of , !,4-di-tert-butyl-6-methylphenyl-di
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
