Bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl) Chlorothiophosphate

The title compound, C₁₆H₁₈ClO₂PS, displays distorted tetrahedral geometry around the P atom and has twofold axial symmetry, with the S and Cl atoms disordered about the twofold axis. The distance between these partially populated sites is 0.40 (2) Å. The dihedral angle between the two dimethylphenyl rings is 74.54 (8)° and the P-O bond distance is 1.566 (2) Å.
