title: Diethyl [(Z)-1-iodo-2-phenyl-1-hexenyl]phosphonate.
abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, C16H24IO3P, is composed of independent molecules, in which one of the phosphonate ethoxy groups is disordered over two positions. The other ethoxy group lies sandwiched between two phenyl rings and, as a result, is ordered. This constrained environment also leads to two C-H...centroid interactions, one intra- and one intermolecular. Examination of the extended structure reveals the presence of chains of molecules held together by I...O interactions.
