title: Unexpected formation of a novel macrocyclic tetraphosphine: (RSSR)-1,9-dibenzyl-3,7,11,15-tetramesityl-1,9-diaza-3,7,11,15-tetraphosphacyclohexadecane.
abstract: The title compound was synthesised in moderate yield via stereoselective self-assembly of two bisphosphine, four formaldehyde and two primary amine molecules.
