The first complex of the pentameric phosphazane macrocycle [{P(μ-NtBu)}2(μ-NH)]5 with a neutral molecular guest: Synthesis and structure of [{P(μ-NtBu)}2(μ-NH)]5(CH2Cl2)2

The reaction of [{P(μ-NtBu)}2(μ-NH)}5I]−[Li(thf)4]+([1 · I]−[Li(thf)4]+) with NaOMe in CH2Cl2 gives the title compound [{P(μ-NtBu)}2(μ-NH)]5(CH2Cl2)2 [1 · (CH2Cl2)2] the first adduct containing this type of macrocyclic phosph(III)azane host and a neutral guest.
