Conclusions

  1. 1.

    In the molecules of n-PrSPCl2, internal rotation is observed around P-S, S-C, and C-C bonds, leading to a dynamic equilibrium of at least four conformers of the gauche and trans types.

  2. 2.

    In i-PrSPCl2 in the liquid state and in solutions, internal rotation takes place around P-S and S-C bonds. A single conformer is realized in the crystal, in which the S-C bond has the trans orientation relative to the unshared electron pair on the P atom, and the methyl proton has the gauche orientation relative to the P-S bond.

  3. 3.

    In the series of thiophosphites RSPCl2 (R=Me, Et, n-Pr, and i-Pr), variation of the length and branching of the alkyl radical attached to the S atom does not lead to any qualitative changes in the energetics of internal rotation around the P-S bond: Conformations with the trans orientation of the S-C bond relative to the unshared electron pair on the P atom are energetically favored in all members of the series.
