[4-(Methoxycarbonyl)benzyl]triphenylphosphonium bromide hemihydrate

Abstract

In the crystal structure of the title compound, C27H24O2P+·Br−·0.5H2O, there are intermolecular O—H...Br hydrogen bonds between the H atoms of the water of crystallization and the bromide anions. The three phenyl rings of the triphenylphosphonium moiety are at angles of 59.73 (15), 79.15 (14) and 82.81 (17)° with the C/P/C planes.
