The reactions of p-diphenylphosphinobenzoic acid (LCOOH) with various organotin precursors have been carried out. Accordingly, the reaction of [n-BuSn(O)(OH]_n with LCOOH afforded the hexameric compound, [n-BuSn(O)O₂C–C₆H₄–p-PPh₂]₆(1). On the other hand, the reaction of LCOOH with [n-Bu₂SnO]_n gave the tetrameric compound [{n-Bu₂SnO₂C–C₆H₄–p-PPh₂}₂O]₂ (2). The 1-D coordination polymers [R₃SnO₂C–C₆H₄–p-P(O) Ph₂]_n,[ R=n-Bu (3), R=Ph (4)] were prepared in the reaction of [n-Bu₃Sn]₂O or [Ph₃Sn]₂O with LCOOH. The compounds 1–4 were structurally characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopic and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies

Phosphate diesters are well known to form intermolecular H-bonded dimeric structures in their solid-state. Recently, we reported 2,6-(CHPh)₂-4-iPr-phenyl substituted phosphate diester exists as H-bonded monomeric molecular structure along with water dimer in the solid-state. Herein we report 2,6-(CHPh)₂-4-iPr-phenyl substituted phosphate diester forms a monomeric molecular structure in the solid-state upon cocrystallization with dimethylformamide, DMF(Me₂NCHO). The -CHO group of DMF simultaneously acts as an H-bond acceptor to P-OH and an H-bond donor to P=O moieties. We also used the alcohols, ROH (R = Me, Et, iPr, and tBu), for crystallisation of 2,6-(CHPh)₂-4-iPr-phenyl substituted phosphate diester. In these instances, solvent-incorporated dimeric structures are found in the solid-state. We also report the syntheses and molecular structures of anionic phosphate diesters of 2,6-(CHPh)₂-4-iPr-phenyl substitutedphosphate diester possessing various counter cations. Moreover, we also report the syntheses and molecular structures of phosphate diesters based on (-)-menthol, (?)-menthol and (?)/(-)-menthol. These exist as H-bonded dimers in the solid-state.
