Sodium phenoxide is an organic compound with the formula NaOC6H5. This white solid is the conjugate base of phenol. It is used as a precursor to many other organic compounds, such as aryl ethers.[1]
Like other alkoxide salts, crystalline sodium phenolate adopts a complex structures. Solvent free material is polymeric, each Na center being bound to three oxygen ligands as well as the phenyl ring. Adducts of sodium phenoxide are molecular, such as the cubane [NaOPh]4(HMPA)4.[2]
