Structure Analysis of O,O’-propane-1,3-diyl bis[diphenyl(phosphinothioate)]

Abstract

A new diphosphine disulphide compound with the formula C<inf>27</inf>H <inf>26</inf>O<inf>2</inf>|P<inf>2</inf>S<inf>2</inf>, was synthesized from the reaction between PPh<inf>2</inf>SCl and 1,3-propanediol and characterized with different spectroscopic methods. Its structure has also been studied by X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P 1. Pentavalent phosphorus atoms in the molecule are in distorted tetrahedral environments. © 2013 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
