Abstract

The synthesis of a bulky secondary phosphine, Ar2PH [Ar = C6H2(CF3)3-2,4,6], and its use in the first synthesis and isolation of a phosphonium phosphide, (Ph3PMe) + (Ar2P)-, via the deprotonation of Ar2PH with a nonstabilised phosphorus ylide, Ph3P=CH2, are reported. An X-ray structure of this salt reveals that cations and anions are weakly associated in the solid state through C-H ⋯ P interactions.
