“…The structures of halophosphoranes in the solid‐state depend largely on the starting phosphane R n PX 3− n , the solvent used, the halogen, and the phosphane:halogen ratio 8. In the solid‐state structures of R 3 PX 2 three basic structural motifs are found: trigonal bipyramidal in Ph 3 PF 2 ,9 (C 6 F 5 ) 3 PCl 2 , Ph 2 (C 6 F 5 )PCl 2 ,10 and Ph 3 PCl 2 ;11 the molecular charge‐transfer “spoke” structure for t Bu 3 PI 2 ,2 Ph 3 PI 2 ,3a PhMe 2 PI 2 ,3b Ph 3 PBr 2 ,12 i Pr 3 PI 2 13 and Ph 3 PIBr,14 and the ionic form, for example, in [ n Pr 3 PCl]Cl,10 and [Ph 3 PCl]Cl 4a. In the last two types of structure the P center is tetracoordinate.…”
