Abstract
The title compound, Ph3(PhCH2)P+·Cl−·H2O, was obtained unintentionally as the product of an attempted synthesis of a silver dithiocarbamate complex using benzyltriphenylphosphonium as the counter-ion. The asymmetric unit consists of a phosphonium cation and a chloride anion, and a water molecule of crystallization. In the crystal, the chloride ion is linked to the water molecule by an O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond. The three units are further linked via C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C—H⋯ π interactions, forming a three-dimensional structure.
