Eine neue Synthese und die Kristallstruktur von Hexaphenyl‐cyclo‐triphosphazen, [NPPh2]3 · THF

A New Synthesis and the Crystal Structure of Hexaphenyl‐cyclo‐triphosphazene, [NPPh₂]₃ · THF [NPPh₂]₃ · THF ( 1 · THF) has been prepared from KNPPh₃ in THF solution in the presence of MoO₃ and 18‐crown‐6. According to the crystal structure determination all structural parameters are similar to known symmetric substituted cyclo‐triphosphazenes. The dihedral angles of the phenyl groups with the “best plane” P₃N₃ lie between 50 and 67°. 1 · THF: Space group P 1, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at –80 °C: a = 1146.5(1), b = 1360.5(1), c = 1382.9(1) pm, α = 108.06(1)°, β = 103.32(1)°, γ = 112.19(1)°, R₁ = 0.0441.
