The title compound, C13H8C14N5O6P3, consists Of a non-planar trimeric phosp
hazene ring and a bulky 2,2'-methylenebis(4-nitrophenoxy) side group which
predominantly determines the molecular shape. With respect to the correspon
ding values in the reference compound N3P3Cl6, the endocyclic angle around
one P atom is the same, but the exocyclic angle is increased, while the end
ocyclic and exocyclic angles about another P atom are both decreased. This
situation is different from that in other reported phosphazene derivatives.
