N,N′-Bis(4-methylphenyl)-N′′-(2,2,2-trichloroacetyl)phosphoric triamide

Abstract

The P atom in the title compound, C16H17Cl3N3O2P, is bonded in a distorted tetrahedral geometry with the phosphoryl and carbonyl groups anti with respect to one another. In the crystal, molecules are linked through (N—H)2...O(=P) and N—H...O(=C) hydrogen bonds into chains along [001]. The phosphoryl O atom acts as a double hydrogen-bond acceptor.
