The synthesis and structural characterization of the N-substituted bis(diphenylphosphanyl)amine Ph2PN(R)PPh2 (R = n-propyl, 1) is reported. Single crystals of 1 grown from dichloromethane/acetonitrile have been analyzed by X-ray crystallography. The crystallographic study revealed that the diphenylphosphanyl groups in 1 are staggered relative to the PNP backbone as observed for other closely related molecules.
