New phosphoramidates with formula 3-NC 5 H 4 C(O)NHP(O)XY (X=Y=Cl (1), X=Y=NH-C(CH 3 ) 3 (2a,2b), X=Y=N(C 4 H 9 ) 2 (3), X=Cl, Y=N(C 2 H 5 ) 2 (4) were synthesized and characterized by IR, 1 H-, 13 C-, 31 P-NMR spectroscopy and CHN elemental analysis. Surprisingly, the reaction of compound 2a with LaCl 3 , 7H 2 O in 3:1 M ratio leads to a polymorph of this compound (2b). NMR spectra indicate that 2 J(PNH amide ) in 2b (7.0 Hz) is very much greater than in 2a (4.1 Hz), while d( 31 P) values are identical for both of them. In IR spectra, t(P=O) is weaker but t(C=O) is stronger in 2a than in 2b. The structures of 2a, 2b were determined by X-ray crystallography. These compounds form centrosymmetric dimers via two intermolecular P=O……H-N hydrogen bonds. Strong intermolecular N-H…N, N-H…O and weak C-H…O hydrogen bonds lead to a three-dimensional polymeric cluster in the 2a while intermolecular strong N-H……N and weak C-H……O hydrogen bonds form a two-dimensional polymeric chain in 2b.
