Polymeric Phosphorus-Nitrogen Compounds
Abstract
We were able to elucidate completely the mechanism of formation of polymeric phosphorus nitrile chlorides. Phosphorus pentachloride has a well known structure In the vapor state the molecule is in the form of a trigonal bipyramid Pure liquid PC1(sub 5) exhibits a Raman spectrum which has been interpreted on the basis of a trigonal bipyramid structure In the crystal however phosphorus pentachloride has ionic struc ture corresponding to [PC1(sub 4) + PC1(sub 6)] hen phosphorus pentachloride is dissolved in polar solvents, it acts as an electrolyted is present in ionic form Transference number experiments indicate at PCl(sub 4)] + and [PCl(sub 6) - are formed when phosphorus pentachloride is dissolved in nitrobenzene We suggested that with ammonia and derivatives of ammonia res ectively phosphorus pentachloride may react as a salt [PCl (sub 4) + [PC1(sub 6)]. An ionic mechanism should be especially observed when a polar solvent is employed.
