Preparation and Reactivity of a Triphosphenium Bromide Salt: A Convenient and Stable Source of Phosphorus(I)

4-Phenyl-piperazin-1-ium dihydrogen phosphate
Abstract:
The title compound, C(10)H(15)N(2) (+)·H(2)PO(4) (-), is built up from 4-phenyl-piperazin-1-ium cations and dihydrogen phosphate anions. The inter-connection between two adjacent anions is assured by two strong O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, which lead to the formation of infinite wave-like chains which spread along the a axis. The organic cations connect these chains via N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The crystal cohesion and stability are ensured by electrostatic and van der Waals inter-actions which, together with N-H⋯O and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, build up a two-dimensional network.

Phosphate Buffer
Sodium dihydrogen phosphate does not fully dissociate in neutral or acidic solutions. When a strong base, such as sodium hydroxide (NaOH), is introduced into the solution, sodium dihydrogen phosphate...
Overview of Advanced Functional Groups
Functional groups are groups of atoms with specific chemical properties that occur within organic molecules and are sometimes denoted as “R”. Functional groups can “functionalize” a compound by enabling it to adopt different physical and chemical properties.
