Abstract
The crystal and molecular structure of 1-phenyl-1-dimethylamino-4,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2-aza-3λ3-phosphabutadiene-1,3, Me2N(Ph)C=N—P=C(SiMe3)2 (1), has been determined. Crystal data: triclinic, P1¯, a = 8.975(4), b = 10.001(5), c = 12.440(6) Å, α = 79.04(4), β = 77.98(4), γ = 73.07(4)°, V = 1034.7 Å3, Z = 2, and Dc = 1.08 g cm−3. The main geometrical parameters of 1 as well as ab initio (HF/6-31+G**) calculations of the model systems show no clear evidence of high efficiency of the π(C=N)—π (P=C) conjugation.
