(Isopropyl-amino)(meth-yl)diphenyl-phospho-nium iodide

Abstract

The title compound, C 16H 21NP +· I -, was obtained by the reaction of PH 2PN( iPr)P(Ph)N( iPr)H with MeI involving cleavage of one of the P - N bonds in diethyl ether. The two phenyl rings form a dihedral angle of 82.98 (5)°. A weak donor-acceptor N - H⋯I inter-action is observed.
