Abstract: The molecular structure of the tetrahydrofuran (THF) adduct of the sodium salt of the primary phosphane DnpPH₂ (Dnp is 2,6-di-1-naphthylphenyl), of composition [Na(THF){P(H)Dnp}(THF)]₂ or [Na₂(C₂₆H₁₈P)₂(C₄H₈O)₂], is reported. The dimeric and centrosymmetric complex features a three-coordinate Na atom in a slightly pyramidal coordination environment, with a sum of angles around sodium of 348.9°, and a P atom in a highly distorted tetrahedral coordination environment.
