Structural investigations of phosphorus-nitrogen compounds. 5. Relationships between molecular parameters of 2,2-diphenyl-4,6-cis-oxytetra(ethyleneoxy)-4,6-R2-cyclotriphosphazatrienes (R = Cl, OCH2CF3, OPh, OMe, NHPh, NHBut) and substituent basicity constants.

A systematic study of the products of nucleophilic substitution reactions of cis-ansa N(3)P(3)Ph(2)[O(CH(2)CH(2)O)(4)]Cl(2) (3) is reported. These reactions give a number of new structures with the general formula N(3)P(3)Ph(2)[O(CH(2)CH(2)O)(4)]R(2) [where R = OCH(2)CF(3) (4), OPh (5), OMe (6), NHPh (7 x H(2)O), NHBu(t) (8)]. A comparison has been made between the sum of the substituent basicity constants, Sigmaalpha(R), that are obtained in nitrobenzene solution and eight molecular parameters of the N(3)P(3) ring [the P-N bond lengths a, b, c; the internal bond angles alpha, beta, gamma, delta; and the difference between the bond lengths a and b, Delta(P-N)]. It is found that the systematic changes in the molecular parameters of (3)-(8) are in line with changes in alpha(R) values. This result implies the similarity in relative electron-releasing capacity of substituents R in the solid state and in solution.
