When attempting the synthesis of the copper complex of the title compound {systematic name: 2‐[(diphenylphosphoryl)methyl]phenol}, C19H17O2P, a new monoclinic polymorphic modification of the ligand was obtained instead of the complex. The variations of molecular geometry and supramolecular organization in the crystal structures of the two polymorphs are discussed.
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.
