Abstract
The title compound has been prepared by the reaction of bromodifluorophosphine with silver cyanamide and shown by i.r., Raman, n.m.r., and mass spectroscopy to be a carbodi-imide, and not a cyanamide derivative. The molecular structure of the compound in the gas phase has been determined by electron diffraction. Principal parameters are: r(P–F) 1·562 + 0·002, r(P–N) 1·680 ± 0·006, r(NC) 1·240 ± 0·005 Å, and P–N–C 132·8 ± 0·5°. The overall symmetry of the molecule is C2, the dihedral angle being ca. 55°, and the PF2 groups are trans with respect to the carbodi-imide group.Keywords
