A coordination environment reminiscent of a paddle‐wheel is exhibited by aryl groups about one of the two cesium ions in CsP(H)Dmp (Dmp=2,6‐dimesitylphenyl; structure depicted on the right), which has now been synthesized and is found to exhibit Cs + {Cs 2 [P(H)Dmp] 3 } − contact ion pairs in the solid state. In contrast, the analogous rubidium compound displays a Rb 4 P 4 cube as the central structural motif.
