The title salt, [P(NHCH2C6H5)4]+·Cl−, crystallizes with the P atom and Cl− anion lying on a twofold rotation axis. The P atom has a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry with two classes of N—P—N angles [101.15 (10) and 100.55 (11)° and 113.07 (9) and 114.83 (8)°] and the environments of sp2-hybridized N atoms are essentially planar (sum of angles = 359.9 and 360.1°). In the crystal, the phosphonium ion interacts with each neighboring chloride ion via two approximately equal N—H⋯Cl interactions, forming parallel chains along the c axis.

All the reagents and solvents were used as obtained without further purification. Phosphorus pentachloride (2 mmol) was added drop wise with constant stirring to a toluene solution (30 ml) of benzylamine (8 mmol) at 0°C. After an hour stirring, the reaction mixture was refluxed for 3 h. The solid formed during the reaction was filtered and then washed with distilled water, toluene, chloroform and dried. Single crystals suitable for single-crystal X-ray
were obtained from the mixture of MeOH and CH3CN solution.The hydrogen atoms of NH groups were found in difference Fourier synthesis, the H(C) atom positions were calculated. All hydrogen atoms were refined in isotropic approximatiom in riding model with with the Uiso(H) parameters equal to 1.2 Ueq(X), where U(X) are the equivalent thermal parameters of the atoms to which corresponding H atoms are bonded. The
parameter (Flack, 1983) is refined based on 1321 Friedel pairs.Data collection: P3/PC (Siemens, 1989); cell

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Phosphonium salts, [PR4]+, are widely used as large cations to stabilize a variety of anionic species and to phase-transfer anions into low polarity organic media (Levason et al., 2006). A few examples of tetraamino phosphonium salts exist in the literature (Hart & Sisler, 1964) and some of them are used as catalysis for preparing fluorine-containing compounds by a halogen/fluorine exchange reaction (Schiemenz et al., 2003). Also, the crystal structure of P(NH2)4Cl (Horstmann & Schnick, 1996) and [P(NHPh)4]Cl (Bickley et al., 2004) have been reported. In an effort to further investigation into these types of compounds, the crystal structure of [P(NHCH2C6H5)4]+.Cl- is presented.
The title salt, [P(NHCH2C6H5)4]+.Cl-, crystallizes with the P atom and Cl- anion lying on a two-fold rotation axis in the space group P21212. The supramolecular structure of compound exhibits a polymeric chain of alternating phosphonium and chloride ions in the solid state (Fig. 2) with P···P distances of 7.923 Å. The phosphonium ion interacts with each neighboring chloride ion via two equal N—H···Cl interactions and six-membered rings around each phosphorus atom are formed. The centroid–centroid distance between adjacent phenyl rings is 4.009 Å, indicating no strong π–π stacking interactions exist in compound.
The four P–N bonds are of almost equal lengths 1.6166 (14) and 1.6184 (14) Å and are similar to those found in [P(NHPh)4]Cl (Bickley et al., 2004) and P(NH2)4Cl (Horstmann & Schnick, 1996). These P–N bonds are shorter than the typical P–N single bond length (1.77 Å) . As observed in [P(NHPh)4]Cl, there are two classes of N–P–N angles resulting in a distorted tetrahedral environment for P1. More acute angles of 101.15 (10) and 100.55° are observed within the hydrogen bonding chelates of the N1–P1–N1iand N2–P1–N2i (i: -x, -y, z) units respectively, whereas the remaining four N–P–N angles are 113.07 (9) and 114.83 (8)°. Although the main cause for the distortion from the ideal tetrahedral geometry is unclear, it seems to be partly controlled by hydrogen bonding. The sum of angles around nitrogen atoms are exactly 360° and these atoms are sp2 hybridized.
