title: Multiple intramolecular hydrogen bonds in 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-[N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-P,P-diphenylphosphorimidoyl]phenol.
abstract: The title compound, C(38)H(48)NOP, isolated from the reaction of (2-diphenylphosphanyl-4,6-di-tert-butyl)phenol with 2,6-diisopropylphenyl azide at 273 K, can act as an N,O-bidentate ligand. Crystal structure analysis shows a deviation from ideal tetrahedral symmetry around the P atom. The molecule exists as a monomer in the solid state, whose conformation is stabilized via multiple intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Geometric parameters from both experimental and theoretical calculations are compared.
