1% The strength of this bond has been related to the negativity of the phosphoryl oxygen. n'hen the phosphoryl is extremely polarized, as in the phosphine oxides, an interinolcculnr association is also observed. This is probably a dipole-dipole interaction of these phosphoryl groups.

The spectra of a number of phosphoryl compounds have appeared recently in the literature, and various assignments have been made, both empirically and theoretically.

ogous relationships involving the carbonyl group have received somewhat more attention * and, with the exception of the steric differences of the tetrahedral phosphorus atom of the phosphoryl from the planar carbon atom of the carbonyl, there exists a iiotable similarity. Recent work a t this Laboratory has resulted in the synthesis of several new classes of organophosphorus compounds, whose spectra have also been recorded, from which certain information concerning their structure and properties may be deduced. Chronologically the first, and structurally the simplest, of these are the disubstituted phosphine oxides, KJ'(0)H. Prior t o their general synthesis,8 such compounds were tentatively classed as trivalent phosphinous acids, R*P-OHg. However, the presence of strong P-H absorption a t 2335 cm.-' ( 8 ) R. H .

and a P-tO absorption at 1190 an.-', together with the absence of any absorption which could reasonably be assigned to an 0-H stretching mode (except, perhaps, for a slight shoulder near 2700 cm.-l) is strong evidence that these compounds exist as the tetravalent form, predominantly if not exclusively. An interesting detail of the spectra of these compounds is the unmistakable shift of the phosphoryl absorption from 1150-1155 cm.-' in the solid state to 1190 cm.-l in carbon disulfide solution. An intermolecular association is strongly indicated; it is not, however, the most obvious, since the P-H R

frequency decreases, rather than increases, upon solution (2335 cm.-l in solid state; 2283 cm.-l in carbon disulfide solution). Similar evidence for intermolecular association of the phosphoryl group of trialkyl phosphine oxides is observed. Solution of tri-n-octylphosphine oxide in carbon disulfide produces an increase in frequency from 1142 to 1170 em.-' This almost certainly can be attributed t o dipole-dipole association of the phosphoryl groups. \s,

The association of the disubstituted phosphine OXides is probably similar, and the shift of the P-H stretching frequency can be interpreted as reflecting the change of electron affinity of the phosphorus atom in the associated and non-associated states. While the number of compounds containing P-H groups which we have examined is too limited t o draw any firm conclusions, it seems t o be generally true that the P-H frequency varies with the nature of the other substituents upon the phosphorus in the same sense as does the phosphoryl. The rather wide (for an X-H type vibration) range of P-H absorption from compound to compound has been noted by BellamyI0 without any explanation. Available data from this Laboratory and from the literature for the P-H frequency in tetravalent species are listed in Table I. Plotting these frequencies against the sum of the phosphoryl shift constants5 of the other two substituents, excluding the oxygen, gives a smooth curve, as shown in Fig. 1. Trivalent species would not be expected t o obey this relationship.

v P-H, an.-'. Fig. 1.-Variation of P-H stretching frequency.

From simple, symmetrical trisubstituted phosphine oxides, consideration was next directed to the dialkyl a-hydroxyalkylphosphine oxides, whose synthesis recently was reported. Absorption data for these compounds are given in Table 11. These compounds showed a strong phosphoryl absorption a t 1100-1140 cm.-' in the crystalline state which increased to 11600-1165cm.-l in carbon disulfide solution. In addition, these compounds exhibit a characteristic, strong, well-defined absorption near 3050-3100 cm.-l which shifted only slightly (30903150 cm.-l) upon dissolving in carbon disulfide and whose frequency was thereafter independent of concentration a t successive dilutions t o 0.01 M . The assignment of this as a hydroxyl stretching frequency was confirmed by deuteration of several examples by recrystallization from DpO-dioxane solution. Exchange was incomplete, but 0-D absorption was observed as expected a t 2340 em.-'. By coincidence, this is very nearly the frequency of the P-H in the parent disubstituted phosphine oxide. There was no evidence, either chemical or spectroscopic, of decomposition during deuteration. Moreover, decomposition in this medium might be expected t o yield P-D rather than P-H groups. These data indicate that the hydrogen bonding of the hydroxyl is primarily intra.molecular as >P-c
