The title compound is a λ5-phosphino]ethyl}diphenylphosphine oxide, {2-[(benzoylmethylene)diphenyl-λ5-phosphino]ethyl}diphenylphosphine and water in an approximate 2:1:3 ratio, with an overall composition of C34H30O1.678P2·H2O. The ylidic portion shows the expected electronic polarization, and the organic components are linked by a combination of C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds.
of {2-[(benzoylmethylene)diphenyl-Comment
The title compound, (I), is a co-crystallized mixture of the phosphine oxide (II) and the phosphine (III) obtained as an unexpected product during the attempted crystallization of (III). Form (II), as the monohydrate, was taken as the basis of the model, and the occupancy of atom site O2, bonded to P2 (Fig. 1), refined to 0.678 (7). Since the overall molecular size and shape is dominated by the disposition of the phenyl groups, the phosphine and its oxide readily occupy similar spaces in the crystal, leading to co-crystallization. It is possible that the occupancy of the O2 site may vary slightly from one crystal to another.
The central C21—P1—C1—C2—P2—C41 fragment of (I) is nearly planar, with an extended chain conformation, as shown by the key torsion angles (Table 1), and bonds P1—C17 and P2—O2 are both synclinal bond C1—C2. The locations of atoms C17 and O2, as well as the torsion angles of the phenyl rings about the P—C bonds, preclude the possibility of any internal molecular symmetry. The P1—C17—C19(—O18)—C11 fragment is effectively planar.
The inter-bond angles at both P1 and P2 show considerable variation from the ideal tetrahedral values (Table 1). That the two angles O2—P2—C41 and O2—P2—C51, involving the ipso-C atoms of the phenyl rings, are almost identical, while the angles C17—P1—C21 and C17—P1—C31, also involving ipso-C atoms, differ by almost 10°, points to some subtle intra- or intermolecular factors which are not immediately apparent. The angles P1—C17—C18 and C17—C18—O18 in the ylidic portion are both significantly greater than 120°.
The bond distances involving the P atoms, other than P1—C17, are typical of their types (Allen et al., 1987). The bond-length compilation of Allen et al. (1987) does not include any data derived from phosphorus ylides. However, Aitken et al. (2000) have recently surveyed and tabulated the structural properties of oxo-stabilized phosphorus ylides using data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (Allen, 2002). For neutral ylides of the type Ph3P=CαR(CβOR′), the ranges of the P—Cα, Cα—Cβ and Cβ—O distances were found to be 1.708–1.773, 1.333–1.435 and 1.226–1.301 Å, respectively. These ranges may be compared and contrasted with the P—CH2 distances of 1.674 (2) and 1.666 (2) Å found for the two independent molecules in Ph3P=CH2 (Schmidbaur et al., 1989), and with the average C—C and C—O distances of 1.465 and 1.222 Å in the conjugated fragment =C—C=O (Allen et al., 1987). The corresponding values observed in compound (I) (Table 1) are all thus comfortably within the ranges recently reported (Aitken et al., 2000) and indicate that the charge-separated form (IIa) is an important contributor to the overall molecular–electronic structure, alongside the classically localized form (II) (see scheme).
Compound (I) crystallizes as the monohydrate and the water molecule is linked to the negatively polarized atom O18 via an O—H⋯O hydrogen bond (Table 2). The water molecule plays no other role in the intermolecular aggregation, as there are no potential donors or acceptors of hydrogen bonds within a suitable distance of atom O1.
The organic molecules in (I) are, however, linked by a combination of C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π(arene) hydrogen bonds (Table 2). Atoms C26 and C45 in the molecule at (x, y, z) act as hydrogen-bond donors to, respectively, ring C41–C46 in the molecule at (x − 1, y, z) and ring C11–C16 in the molecule at (1 + x, y, z), so generating by translation a chain of rings running parallel to the [100] direction (Fig. 2). In addition, atom C12 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor to ring C31–C36 in the molecule at (−x, 1 − y, −z), so forming a cyclic centrosymmetric dimer centred at (0, , 0) (Fig. 3), and this motif serves to link the molecular ladders in pairs.
The C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds in (I) both involve atom O2 as the acceptor and their overall effect is thus complicated somewhat by the partial occupancy of the O2 site. We consider first the outcome of these interactions assuming full occupancy of the O2 site, followed by the effects of partial occupancy. Atoms C1, adjacent to positively polarized atom P1, and C32 in the molecule at (x, y, z) both act as hydrogen-bond donors to atom O2 in the molecule at (1 − x, 2 − y, −z). With full occupancy at O2, these interactions would generate a cyclic centrosymmetric dimer, centred at (, 1, 0), in which an R22(16) ring (Bernstein et al., 1995) containing atom C32 is divided into one R22(10) segment (Fig. 4) and two R21(7) segments (Fig. 4). With an occupancy of the O2 site of 0.678 (7), ca 46% of these molecular pairs will contain two atoms of type O2, ca 44% will contain just one atom of type O2 and ca 10% will contain no O2 atoms. Hence, ca 90% of these molecular pairs are internally linked by hydrogen bonds. In the event of full occupancy of the O2 site, this motif (Fig. 4) would serve to link the paired [100] ladders into an (001) sheet. Despite the presence of five independent phenyl rings, aromatic π–π stacking interactions are absent from the of (I).
Experimental
The ylide (III) (see scheme) was prepared by the action of triethylamine on the corresponding phosphonium salt (Oosawa et al., 1976); IR (ν, cm−1): 1526 (C=O). The title compound, (I), was formed as crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray diffraction by the vapour diffusion of light petroleum into a benzene solution of ylide (III) under aerobic conditions; IR (ν, cm−1): 1514 (C=O), 1193 (P=O).

Crystals of (I) are triclinic; P was selected and confirmed by the subsequent analysis. All H atoms were located from difference maps and then treated as riding atoms, with C—H distances of 0.95 (CH) or 0.99 Å (CH2) and O—H distances of 0.95 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) or 1.5Ueq(O). It was apparent from an early stage that the occupancy of the O2 site was less than unity; the refined value of the site-occupancy factor was 0.678 (7).

The title compound, (I), is a co-crystallized mixture of the phosphine oxide, (II), and the phosphine, (III), obtained as an unexpected product during the attempted crystallization of (III). Form (II), as the monohydrate, was taken as the basis of the refinement model, and the occupancy of the atom site O2, bonded to P2 (Fig.1), refined to 0.678 (7). Since the overall molecular size and shape is dominated by the disposition of the phenyl groups, the phosphine and its oxide readily occupy similar spaces in the crystal, leading to co-crystallization. It is possible that the occupancy of the O2 site may vary slightly from one crystal to another. \sch
The central fragment C21—P1—C1—C2—P2—C41 is nearly planar, with an extended-chain conformation, as shown by the key torsion angles (Table 1), and the bonds P1—C17 and P2—O2 are both synclinal to the bond C1—C2. The locations of atoms C17 and O2, as well as the torsion angles of the phenyl rings about the P—C bonds, preclude the possibility of any internal molecular symmetry. The fragment P1—C17—C19(–O18)—C11 is effectively planar.
The inter-bond angles at both P1 and P2 show considerable variation from the ideal tetrahedral values (Table 1). That the two angles O2—P2—C41 and O2—P2—C51, involving the ipso C atoms of phenyl rings, are almost identical, while the angles C17—P1—C21 and C17—P1—C31, also involving ipso C atoms, differ by almost 10°, points to some subtle intra- or intermolecular factors which are not immediately apparent. The angles P1—C17—C18 and C17—C18—O18 in the ylidic portion are both significantly greater than 120°.
The bond distances involving the P atoms, other than P1—C17, are typical of their types (Allen et al., 1987). The bond-length compilation of Allen et al. (1987) does not include any data derived from phosphorus ylides. However, Aitken et al. (2000) have recently surveyed and tabulated the structural properties of oxo-stabilized phosphorus ylides using data retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database (Version?; Allen, 2002). For neutral ylides of the type Ph3P═CαR(CβOR'), the ranges of the P—Cα, Cα—Cβ and Cβ—O distances were found to be 1.708–1.773, 1.333–1.435 and 1.226–1.301 Å, respectively. These ranges may be compared and contrasted with the P—CH2 distances of 1.674 (2) and 1.666 (2) Å found for the two independent molecules in Ph3P═CH2 (Schmidbaur et al., 1989), and with the average C—C and C—O distances of 1.465 and 1.222 Å in the conjugated fragment ═C—C═O (Allen et al., 1987). The corresponding values observed in compound (I) (Table 1) are all thus comfortably within the ranges recently reported (Aitken et al., 2000), and indicate that the charge-separated form (IIa) is an important contributor to the overall molecular-electronic structure, alongside the classically localized form (II).
Compound (I) crystallizes as the monohydrate and the water molecule is linked to the negatively polarized atom O18 via an O—H···O hydrogen bond (Table 2). The water molecule plays no other role in the intermolecular aggregation, as there are no potential donors or acceptors of hydrogen bonds within suitable distance of atom O1.
The organic molecules are, however, linked by a combination of C—H···O and C—H···π(arene) hydrogen bonds (Table 2). Atoms C26 and C45 in the molecule at (x, y, z) act as hydrogen-bond donors to, respectively, ring C41—C46 in the molecule at (x − 1, y, z) and ring C11—C16 in the molecule at (1 + x, y, z), so generating by translation a chain of rings running parallel to the [100] direction (Fig. 2). In addition, atom C12 in the molecule at (x, y, z) acts as donor to ring C31—C36 in the molecule at (-x, 1 − y, −z), so forming a cyclic centrosymmetric dimer centred at (0, 1/2, 0) (Fig. 3), and this motif serves to link the molecular ladders in pairs.
The C—H···O hydrogen bonds in (I) both involve atom O2 as the acceptor and their overall effect is thus complicated somewhat by the partial occupancy of the O2 site. We consider first the outcome of these interactions assuming full occupancy of the O2 site, followed by the effects of the partial occupancy. The atoms C1, adjacent to the positively polarized atom P1, and C32 in the molecule at (x, y, z) both act as hydrogen-bond donors to atom O2 in the molecule at (1 − x, 2 − y, −z). With full occupancy at O2, these interactions would generate a cyclic centrosymmetric dimer, centred at (1/2, 1, 0), in which an R22(16) ring (Bernstein at al., 1995) containing atom C32 is divided into one R22(10) and two R21(7) segments (Fig. 4). With an occupancy of the O2 site of 0.678 (7), ca 46% of these molecular pairs will contain two atoms of type O2, ca 44% will contain just one atom of type O2 and ca 10% will contain no O2 atoms. Hence ca 90% of these molecular pairs are internally linked by hydrogen bonds. In the event of full occupancy of the O2 site, this motif (Fig. 4) would serve to link the paired [100] ladders into an (001) sheet. Despite the presence of five independent phenyl rings, aromatic π–π stacking interactions are absent from the crystal structure of (I).
