M. A. Beckett, P. N. Horton, M. B. Hursthouse and C. Pszolla

Abstract: The structure of the title salt, C₂₄H₂₀P⁺·H₈B₃^-, at 120 (2) K has triclinic (P1) symmetry with an unusual Z = 5, although there is pseudosymmetry observed with the tetraphenylphosphonium cations exhibiting I symmetry. One of the anions is disordered over two sets of sites with refined occupancies of 0.478 (11) and 0.522 (11).
