Methyltriphenylphosphonium bromide chloroform hemisolvate

O. J. Curnow, W. T. Robinson and R. Shang

Abstract: The title compound, C₁₉H₁₈P⁺·Br^-·0.5CHCl₃, was obtained by recrystallization from wet chloroform/diethyl ether and was found to crystallize as the chloroform hemisolvate. There are two independent cations and anions in the asymmetric unit along with one chloroform solvent molecule. The phenyl rings adopt a propellor conformation in both independent cations, but with opposite directions of rotation.
