Triphenyl[(4-phenylbenzoyl)methyl]phosphonium trifluoromethanesulfonate

Abstract

In the cation of the title compound, C32H26OP+·CF3O3S−, the dihedral angle between the benzene rings of the biphenyl group is 42.37 (8)°. In the crystal, the cations and anions inter­act through inter­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming chains parallel to the b axis. These chains are further linked by C—H⋯π stacking inter­actions into layers parallel to the bc plane.
