Crystal structure of benzyl-tri-phenyl-phospho-nium chloride monohydrate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, Ph3(PhCH2)P(+)·Cl(-)·H2O, was obtained unintentionally as the product of an attempted synthesis of a silver di-thio-carbamate complex using benzyl-tri-phenyl-phospho-nium as the counter-ion. The asymmetric unit consists of a phospho-nium cation and a chloride anion, and a water mol-ecule of crystallization. In the crystal, the chloride ion is linked to the water mol-ecule by an O-H?Cl hydrogen bond. The three units are further linked via C-H?Cl and C-H?O hydrogen bonds and C-H? ? inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional structure.
