Reaction of chiral phosphorodiamidites with trimethylsilyltriflate affords chiral phophorus(III) triflate species, such as 1-trifluoromethylsulfonato-2,9-(dibenzyl)diaza-1-phospha[4.0.3]bicyclononane 4, which has been examined by a combination of solution and solid state analytical techniques. Arguably the most important feature of this molecule is the nature of the interaction between phosphorus and triflate oxygen atoms. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the phosphorus atom interacts principally with two oxygen atoms from two different triflate groups in the solid state, implying overall four-coordination at phosphorus. At distances of 2.841 and 2.755 A, these interactions are well within the van der Waals distance for a phosphorus-oxygen [P-O] interaction (ca. 3.35 A) but are nevertheless over 1 A longer than expected for a single [P-O] covalent bond. Investigations in solution via a combination of 31P, 19F, 13C, variable concentration, variable temperature NMR spectroscopy and solution conductivity provide support for a phosphorus-oxygen interaction which is intermediate between 'ionic' (two-coordinate phosphorus) and 'covalent' (three-coordinate phosphorus) and which possesses dynamic character in solution. Indeed, it has proved possible to calculate a relative equilibrium constant between 'ionic' and 'covalent' forms of 4 using empirical NMR data (13C and 19F; CH2Cl2 solvent; 300 K). These calculations return an equilibrium constant of ca. 3 (2.8 using 13C-NMR data and 3.3 using 19F-NMR data) in favour of the ionic form, a result commensurate with those suggested from variable temperature 19F-NMR and solution conductivity studies. Indeed, that the triflate group in 4 is capable of being displaced readily has been demonstrated by reaction with two-electron nitrogen, oxygen and phosphorus donor molecules. We have found 13C{1H}-NMR spectroscopy to be an extremely valuable probe of the ionic character of the triflate group in such systems providing a quantitative measure of the relative strength of interaction (relative basicity Br) between donor molecule and phosphorus atom of 4; the stronger the interaction, the more ionic the character of the triflate group and the lower the value of Br. Indeed, Br values for various ligands correlate well with steric and electronic properties of the latter and 31P-NMR resonances of the adducts themselves. As expected, the relative basicity of a given ligand correlates to the equilibrium constants K for adduct formation, which range from 39 M-1 for the weakest binding ligand studied (1,4-dioxane) to 5.4×104 M-1 for the strongest binding ligand (4-Me2N-NC5H4).
