Elemantal phosphorus (P4) reacts with thiophenol and amines at elevated temperature in acetonitrile to give ammonium or acetimidamidium S,S-diphenyl phosphorodithioates, depending on the nature of the amine. Analogous salts were isolated in the reaction of triphenyl phosphorotrithioite with thiophenol and corresponding amines in acetonitrile. The molecular and crystal structures of the acetimidamidium salt was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. With two different types of intermolecular interactions taken into account, a 1D supramolecular structure formed by infinite cylinders, rather that 0D structures, dimers of anion-cation pairs formed by classical hydrogen bonds exclusively, was obtained. S,S,S-Triphenyl phosphorotrithioate is formed by the reactions of P4 with thiophenol and a catalytic amount of an amine or in the presence of diphenyl disulfide. © 2005 Pleiades Publishing, Inc.
