The title compound, C(45)H(55)NO(6)P(2), consists of an acyclic P=N-P(O) monophosphazene chain and five bulky 2,4,6-trimethylphenoxy side groups which predominantly determine the molecular shape. Although the P-N single [1.586 (3) A] and P=N double [1.517 (3) A] bonds are significantly different from each other, both are substantially shorter than the ideal P-N single bond. The P-N-P angle [146.0 (2) degrees ] corresponds to the upper limit reported for acyclic phosphazene derivatives in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
