A single crystal X-ray study of (Ph2MeP)3CuNO3 revealed the presence of three different Cu—P distances and a unidentate nitrate group. Steric and electronic factors responsible for the unusual molecular dimensions of the nitrate group and the variation in Cu—P bond lengths and O—Cu—P bond angles are discussed.
