N,N'-Dicyclo-pentyl-N'',N''-dimethyl-phospho-ric triamide
Abstract:
The P atom in the title mol-ecule, C(12)H(26)N(3)OP, has a distorted tetra-hedral configuration: its bond angles lie in the range 101.1 (2)-119.1 (2)°. The P-N bonds to the two cyclo-pentyl-amido moieties are significantly different [1.619 (4) and 1.643 (4) Å], with the shorter bond related to an anti orientation of the lone electron pair of the corresponding N atom relative to the P=O bond. The O atom of the P=O group acts as a double hydrogen-bond acceptor and is involved in two different inter-molecular N-H⋯O(P) hydrogen bonds, building R(2) (2)(8) rings that are further linked into chains along [001].

Phosphodiester Linkages
Phosphodiester bond forms when a phosphoric acid molecule (H3PO4) links with two hydroxyl groups (–OH) of two other molecules, forming two ester bonds. Two water molecules are released in this process. The phosphodiester bond is commonly found in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and plays a critical role in their structure and function.
