Abstract: | (PPh4)2HP7 · 3NH3 was prepared by the reaction of K3P7 with a proton‐charged ion exchange resin in the presence of (PPh4)Br in liquid ammonia, and characterized by low temperature X‐ray structure analysis. The thermally very unstable compound contains the hydrogenheptaphosphide anion HPequation/tex2gif-stack-1.gif, the nortricyclane‐like cage of which is slightly distorted by the attachment of the hydrogen atom. |
