Triphenyl[2-(triphenylphosphaniumyl)ethyl]phosphanium bis(periodate)

Abstract

Key indicators: single-crystal X-ray study; T = 298 K; mean (C-C) = 0.011 Å; R factor = 0.069; wR factor = 0.190; data-to-parameter ratio = 22.1.In title salt, C 38 H 34 P 2 2+ Á2IO 4 À , the P atoms of the dication and the I atoms of the periodate anions are each in a slightly distorted tetrahedral environment. In the dication, the two -P(C 6 H 5 ) 3 groups adopt a gauche conformation with respect to each other. In the crystal, several C-HÁ Á ÁO hydrogen bonds between the cations and anions lead to a two-dimensional arrangement along (101). Related literature ExperimentalCrystal data
