Phosphaneimine Complexes, Synthesis, Crystal Structure N-Iodo-triphenylphosphaneimine, Ph3PNI, has been prepared by thermolysis of the donor acceptor complex in boiling acetonitrile in the presence of potassium fluo ride. Both compounds have been characterized by IR spectroscopy and by crystal structure determinations.[Me3SiNPPh3 ICl]: Space group P I, Z = 2, a = 888.3(1), b = 1070.7( 1), c = 1310.2( 1) pm, a = 9 5 .15( 1)°, ß = 108.67( 1)°, 7 = 97.78( 1)° at 20°C. The complex has a molecular structure in which the N atom of the phosphaneimine is connected with the iodine atom of the IC1 molecule in a linear arrangement N-I-Cl with bond lengths N-I = 232.7 pm, I-Cl = 255.37 pm.
