Summary: | The title compound, C30H25NOP2, is a bulky phosphazene derivative. Its previous crystal structure [Cameron et al. (1979). Acta Cryst. B35, 1373–1377] is confirmed and its H atoms have been located in the present study. The formal P=N double bond is about 0.05 Å shorter than the P—N single bond and the large P=N—P bond angle reflects the steric strain in the molecule. An intramolecular C—H...O interaction occurs. In the crystal, short C—H...O contacts connect the molecules into chains propagating in [011], which are cross-linked via C—H...π interactions, generating a three-dimensional network. Aromatic π–π stacking also occurs [shortest centroid–centroid separation = 3.6012 (11) Å].
