The bulky group plays a predominant role in the distortion of the molecule as a whole. This distortion results in deviations of the benzene and phosphazene rings from planarity and twists the rings with respect to each other. In monocyclophosphazenes, the endocyclic angles about the P atom decrease while the exocyclic angles increase. This is in contrast to the behaviour of title compound (a bicyclophosphazene) in which the exo- and endocyclic angles about the P atoms both decrease on substitution.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessPhosphorus Nitrogen-CompoundsTransition-Metal DerivativesStructural InvestigationsSolid-StateX-RayConformationCrystalArticle5045345610.1107/S0108270193008443WOS:A1994ND39700048N/A
