TRISPHAT

Bu4N+ PHAT−

1-Butanaminium, N,N,N-tributyl-, (OC-6-11-Δ)-tris[3,4,5,6-tetrachloro-1,2-benzenediolato(2-)-κO1,κO2]phosphate(1−) (1:1) TRISPHAT (full name tris(tetrachlorocatecholato)phosphate(1−)) is an inorganic anion with the formula often prepared as the tributylammonium () or tetrabutylammonium ( salt. The anion features phosphorus(V) bonded to three tetrachlorocatecholate () ligands. This anion can be resolved into the axially chiral enantiomers, which are optically stable (the picture shows the Δ enantiomer).

The TRISPHAT anion has been used as a chiral shift reagent for cations. It improves the resolution of 1H NMR spectra by forming diastereomeric ion pairs.

Preparation

The anion is prepared by treatment of phosphorus pentachloride with tetrachlorocatechol followed by a tertiary amine gives the anion: :PCl5 + 3 C6Cl4(OH)2 → H[P(O2C6Cl4)3] + 5 HCl :H[P(O2C6Cl4)3] + Bu3N → Bu3NH+ [P(O2C6Cl4)3]− Using a chiral amine, the anion can be readily resolved.
