Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic, a = 15.539(4), b = 9.061(1), c = 16.707(6) Å, β = 107.19(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The measured and calculated densities are 1.19 and 1.180(1) g cm−3, respectively. The structure was determined by direct methods and refined by electron-density and full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.047 for 2503 observed reflections. The six-membered phosphazene ring is slightly, but significantly, non-planar, the conformation being that of a distorted boat. The molecule has approximate D3 symmetry. The ring P—N bonds are all equal, mean P—N = 1.588(3) Å, and the relatively short exocyclic P—N bonds, mean 1.652(4) Å, indicate the presence of exocyclic π-bonding in the molecule. The N—C bonds range from 1.417(7) to 1.471(5) with a mean of 1.45(2) Å. The mean endocyclic N—P—N and P—N—P angles are 116.7(4) and 123.0(4)°, respectively, while the exocyclic N—P—N angles average 101.5(8)°.
