Protonation of an ylide leads to a unique C-H⋯O hydrogen-bonded dimer: The first synthesis, isolation and X-ray structural characterisation of a phosphonium aryloxide

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The phosphonium ylide triphenylphosphonium methylide Ph3PCH 2 reacts with 2,4,6-trimethyiphenol to give the phosphonium aryloxide dimer [(Ph3PMe)+(OC6H2Me 3-2,4,6)-]2 1, in the solid state, in which aggregation is solely through C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding from both alkyl and aryl donors within the phosphonium cation, resulting in each phenoxide oxygen acceptor being five-coordinate (tetrafurcated).
