Eight organic salts made up of two different organic phosphonium monocations, tetraphenylphosphonium or benzyltriphenylphosphonium, and common anions of different shape, size and charge distribution have been structurally authenticated. The crystal packing for the tetraphenylphosphonium cations invo...
