Fig. 1. Solid state structures of one of two independent molecules of P(BIM) (a), the cation in [P(BIMEt3)][OTf]3·(MeCN)2 (b), and cation in [PF2(BIMEt3)][OTf]3·MeCN (c). Thermal ellipsoids are shown at a 50% probability level. Hydrogen atoms, solvent molecules and triflate anions are omitted for clarity. Inter-atomic distances and angles are summarized in Table 2.
