Conclusion

The compound exhibits a distorted trigonal-pyramidal geometry with no classical intermolecular interactions.

Supporting Evidence

  • The diphenylphosphanyl groups are staggered relative to the PNP backbone.
  • The nitrogen atom is displaced from the plane formed by the two phosphorus atoms and a carbon atom.

Takeaway
