description

The title compound, C12H17I2O3P, was prepared in three steps from p-xylene. Heterodimers between nearly identical molecules are connected via three hydrogen bonds from benzylic and ester methylene groups to phosphonate. The dimers form chains along the a-axis direction, stabilized by C—H...O bridges.
