A series of phosphonium salts with pentafluorobenzyl substituents have been synthesized and were investigated in the crystal as well as in solution. The solid state structures of 1a, 1b and 2d reveal the presence of anion-π as well as CH-anion interactions. The two attractive, yet competitive forces seem to act in concert and a directing effect of the CH interaction on the relative position between anion and π-system is observed. The search for anion-π interactions in solution failed. Only CH-anion interactions proved to be important in solution.
