Abstract
An X-ray crystallographic study of the reagent Ph(3)PCl(2) reveals it to be [Ph(3)PCl(+)... Cl-...(+)ClPPh(3)]Cl and not trigonal bipyramida l, molecular charge-transfer Ph(3)P-Cl-Cl or the simple ionic species [Ph(3)PCl]Cl; this contrasts with the conclusions from all previous sp ectroscopic data recorded on compounds of stoichiometry R(3)PCl(2) by earlier workers, and represents the first compound of this formula to be crystallographically characterised.
