Abstract

Abstract A homologous series of bis-diphenylphosphine oxides (C 6 H 5) 2 PO (CH 2) n PO (C 6 H 5) 2 (with n= 2–8; denoted 2-8] have been investigated to explore the effects of a range of competing and cooperative intermolecular and intramolecular interactions on the structural properties in the solid state. The important factors influencing the structural properties include intramolecular aspects such as the conformation of the aliphatic chain ...
