Hydrogen Polyphosphides P3H23−and P3H32−: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of K3(P3H2)·2.3NH3, Rb3(P3H2)·NH3, [Rb(18-crown-6)]2(P3H3)·7.5NH3, and [Cs(18-crown-6)]2(P3H3)·7NH3

Zusammenfassung

The incongruous solvation of polyphosphides and phosphanes or the direct reduction of white phosphorus in liquid ammonia leads to the hydrogen polyphosphides catena-dihydrogen triphosphide, P3H23-, and catena-trihydrogen triphosphide, P3H32-, in the crystalline compounds K-3(P3H2)center dot 2.3NH(3) (1), Rb-3(P3H2)center dot NH3 (2), [Rb(18-crown-6)](2)(P3H3)center dot 7.5NH(3) (3), and [Cs(18-crown-6)](2)(P3H3)center dot 7NH(3) (4).
