Abstract

In the tetra-hydro-furan solvate of the title salt, C12H36N6P3 (+)·C24H20B(-)·C4H8O, the cation features short P-P bond lengths [2.1111 (11) and 2.1364 (10) Å] and a distinctly bent P-P-P angle [104.67 (4)°] that confirm that the mol-ecule is not allene-like. In the crystal, the solvent mol-ecule is linked to the cation via a weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bond.
