“…As observed in 2-amino-5-nitropyridinium hydrogenphosphite (Pecaut & Bagieu-Beucher, 1993), anilinium hydrogenphosphite (Paixã o, Matos Beja, Ramos Silva & Martin-Gil, 2000), 3-ammonium propanoic acid monohydrogenphosphite (Averbuch-Pouchot, 1993b) and diphenylguanidinium monohydrogenphosphite phosphorous-acidwater (Paixã o, Matos Beja, Ramos Silva & Alte da Veiga, 2000), the phosphite groups are hydrogen-bonded in pairs (clusters). In other organic phosphite examples (Averbuch-Pouchot, 1993a,c,d,e;Fleck et al, 2000;Paixã o et al, 2001;Harrison, 2003a,b,c;Mahmoudkhani & Langer, 2001;Harrison, 2004) the phosphite monoanions are linked to form infinite chains, whereas in some organic compounds (Averbuch-Pouchot, 1993f;Idrissi et al, 2002;Bendheif et al, 2003;Gordon & Harrison, 2003) the monoanions are not held together, i.e. no hydrogen bonding occurs between H 2 PO À 3 anions.…”
