Abstract:The structural chemistry of a series of dpmaH (dpmaH = (dimethylphosphoryl)methanaminium) salts has been investigated using constructor graph representations to visualize structural dependencies, covering the majority of known dpmaH salts. It is shown that the structurally related α-aminomethylphosphinic acid can be integrated in the systematology of the dpmaH salts. Those dpmaH salts with counter anions that are weak hydrogen bond acceptors (ClO 4´, SnCl 6 2´, IrCl 6 2´, I´) tend to form head-to-tail hydrogen bonded moieties purely consisting of dpmaH + cations as the primarily structural motif. In structures with weak to very weak hydrogen bonds between the dpmaH + cations and the counter anions, the anions fill the gaps in the structures. In salts with medium to strong hydrogen bond acceptor counter ions (Cl´, NO 3´, PdCl 4 2´) , the predominant structural motif is a double head-to-tail hydrogen bonded (dpmaH + ) 2 dimer. These dimeric units form further NH¨¨¨X hydrogen bonds to neighboring counter anions X, which results in one-dimensional and two-dimensional architectures.
