The title compound, C28H60N12O6P4, consists Of a chair-shaped cyclic t
etrameric phosphazene ring with six bulky morpholino and two ethylamin
o side groups. The two ethylamino side groups are in trans positions.
The bulky substituents are effective in determining the eight-membered
-ring conformation. The endocyclic N-P-N angles around the P atoms hav
ing different substituents are not the same as the P-N-P angles of the
macrocyclic ring.
