Synthesis and crystal structure of alkyltriphenylphosphonium arenesulfonates [Ph3PR][OSO2Ar]

The reaction of equimolar amounts of alkyltriphenylphosphonium bromides with mesitylenesulfonic, 1-hydroxy-2,4-dinitro-7-naphthalenesulfonic, 2-carboxybenzenesulfonic and sulfosalicylic acids in water leads to the formation of ionic alkyltriphenylphosphonium arenesulfonates [Ph3PR][OSO2Ar], R = CH2Ph, Ar = С6H2Me3-2,4,6 (1), R = CH2ОMe, Ar = C10H4(OH-1)(NO2)2-2,4 (2), R = (CH2)4Br, Ar = C6H4(COOH-2) (3), R = CH2ОН, Ar = C6H3(COOH-3)(OH-4) (4). Structures of complexes 1-4 have been established by X-ray diffraction analysis.

The P-C bond lengths vary within the range 1.717(3)-1.931(3) Å. The СРС valence angles take values 101.87(14)-122.99(13) deg. The S-C distances are close to each other and vary in range of values 1.752(5)-1.798(6) Å; the S-O bond lengths are 1.303(2)-1.53(2) Å. Compounds 1 and 4 crystallize as hydrates. Cations and anions in complexes 1-4 are linked by weak hydrogen bonds of the S=O∙∙∙Н(Рh) [2.25-2.67 Å] and S=O∙∙∙Н(C) [2.23-2.63 Å] type. Crystal structures 1, 2, 4 contain the CH∙∙∙π interactions. The spatial structure of crystals 1, 2 is formed with the participation of the π-π interactions.
