✦ Synopsis


The crystal structure of bis(tetraphenylimidodiphosphinato)beryllium (as a benzene solvate), Be(OPh 2 PNPPh 2 O) 2 . C 6 H 6 , was determined by X-ray diffraction and compared with that of beryllium acetylacetonate, Be(OCMeCHCMeO) 2 . The imidodiphosphinate is an inorganic spirobicyclic system, Be(OPNPO) 2 , with tetrahedrally coordinated beryllium. Unlike the planar BeO 2 C 3 rings in the acetylacetonate, the two six-membered BeO 2 P 2 N inorganic rings are nonplanar and display a skew boat conformation.
