(Benzoylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium iodide: supramolecular zigzag chains via C-HO hydrogen bonding stabilized by C-HI interactions

M. Baby Mariyatra, B. Kalyanasundari, K. Panchanatheswaran and A. E. Goeta

Abstract: The title phosphonium salt, C₂₆H₂₂OP⁺·I^-, isomorphous with (benzoylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium nitrate, exhibits both intramolecular C-HI and intermolecular C-HO interactions. The latter interaction leads to supramolecular parallel zigzag chains along the a axis.
