title: N,N-Bis(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)cyclo-butanamine.
abstract: In the title compound, C(28)H(27)NP(2), the N atom adopts an almost planar geometry with the two P atoms and the C atom attached to it, with a distance of 0.066 (2) Å between the N atom and the C/P/P plane. The distorted trigonal-pyramidal geometry of the N atom is further illustrated by bond angles ranging between 115.22 (11) and 123.53 (8)°. Bond angles varying from 99.99 (9) to 108.07 (9) ° are indicative of the distorted pyramidal environment around the P atoms. An intra-molecular C-H⋯P hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions link the mol-ecules into a supra-molecular network.
