The title compound, C12H11PSe, crystallizes with two mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The bond lengths and angles of these two mol­ecules are similar but they differ significantly in the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings [72.70 (10) and 82.07 (9)°]. The mol­ecules are connected by P—H...Se hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains running along the a axis.

Comment top

Transition metal complexes with phosphine ligands, PR3 (R = alkyl, aryl, H) play a big role in homogeneous catalysis. A disadvantage of these ligands is their air sensitivity. Phosphoranes and phosphine chalcogenides are to be found compared with phosphines much more stable toward air oxidation. We report here the synthesis and the X-ray crystal structure analysis of Ph2HPSe (Ph = C6H5). The synthesis of the title compound was achieved by the reaction of Ph2PH (Dornhaus et al., 2006) with grey Se in THF at room temperature as indicated in the equation below.

The title compound, C12H11PSe, crystallizes with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. Bond lengths and angles of these two molecules are similar but they differ significantly in the dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings [72.70 (10)° and 82.07 (9)°, respectively]. The molecules are connected by P—H···Se hydrogen bonds to zigzag chains running along the a axis.

Experimental top

A mixture of diphenylphosphine Ph2PH (1.5 g, 8 mmol) and grey Se (1.0 g, 12.7 mmol) in 10 ml tetrahydrofuran was stirred for 24 h at room temperature. After filtering single crystals of Ph2HPSe were obtained from the filtrate at room temperature (yield 70%).

Refinement top

H atoms were located in a difference map, but were refined with fixed individual displacement parameters [Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C,P) using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å. In addition the P—H bond length [1.3486 Å] was refined (AFIX 14 option in SHELXL97).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
