Triphenyl[(triphenylphosphoranylidene)amino]phosphonium tetrakis(pentafluorophenyl)borate

Abstract

In the title molecular salt, C36H30NP2+·C24BF20−, the P—N bond lengths in the cation are equal [1.573 (2) and 1.572 (2) Å], indicating a resonance structure and the P—N—P bond angle is 144.79 (12)°. In the crystal, weak C—H...F interactions link the cations and the anions.
