These two structures were analyzed along with the previously determined structures of triphenylphosphine oxide {Ph₃PO} and tri-p-tolylphosphine oxide {(p-MePh)₃PO}, and IR data were collected on all four compounds. Both the observed P–O distances and the IR stretching frequencies for these triarylphosphine oxides support the interpretation of the P–O bond as having substantial multiple-bond character, with a bond order between 1.7 and 1.8. The para-substituents on these triarylphosphines were shown to have a statistically insignificant effect on the P–O bond.
