Notes:
Partial exchange of the alkali metal ions for tetraalkylammonium cations of Rb3P7 and Cs3P11 in liquid ammonia results in the formation of [(CH3)4N]2RbP7(NH3) (1) and [(C2H5)4N]Cs2P11 (2). The crystal structures reveal the existence of one-dimensional 1∞[RbP7]2- chains in the former and two-dimensional 2∞[Cs2P11]- layers in the latter compound. The nortricyclane cage in 1 is distorted by one-sided coordination to the Rb ions in a manner that can be related to the valence tautomerism of the free P73- anion.
