New diazaphosphorinanes with formula C 6 H 5 OP(O)[NHCH 2 C(CH 3 ) 2 CH 2 NH] (1), RP(O)[NH(CH 2 ) 3 NH], R=C 6 H 5 O (2), 4-CH 3 -C 6 H 4 NH (3), 4-NO 2 -C 6 H 4 NH (4), RP(O)[NHC 10 H 6 NH],R=Cl (5), 4-CH 3 -C 6 H 4 O (6), and C 6 H 5 NH (7) were synthesized and characterized by 1 H, 13 C, 31 P NMR and IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of compounds 1 and 4-CH 3 -C 6 H 4 OP(O)[NH(CH 2 ) 3 NH] (8) were determined using X-ray crystallography. In these structures, the P=O bond is placed in an equatorial position and the aliphatic six-membered rings show chair conformations. These compounds form two-dimensional polymeric chains via intermolecular P=O…H-N hydrogen bonds. 1 H NMR spectrum of compound 1 shows a ddd splitting pattern for the coupling of H equatorial proton with phosphorus atom, H axial atom, and NH proton with a highvalue 3 J(PNCH) coupling constant = 26.1 Hz. But, H axial indicates a dd splitting pattern because of the coupling with H equatorial and NH protons. 13 C NMR spectra of compounds 5-7, indicated high values for 3 J(P,C) aromatic = 11.9, 11.3 and 10.2 Hz due to the coupling of the aromatic carbon atom of naphthalene moiety with the phosphorus atom. 31 P NMR spectra indicate that the d( 31 P) of compounds 1-4 and 8 containing NH groups connected to the aliphatic carbon atoms appear downfield relative to those of compounds 5-7 that containing NH groups connected to the aromatic naphthalene group.Graphical abstract 4-CH 3 -C 6 H 4 OP(O)[NH(CH 2 ) 3 NH]
