Examination of the Cambridge Structural Database reveals that Ph4P+ ⋯

). In some cases the substitution of Ph destroys the 6PE. Perfluorination, in (C6F5)3PPtCl2PtP(C6F5)3, does not obstruct occurrence of chains of intermolecular 6PE. Hetero-molecular 6PE occur, and could be deployed for generation of acentric crystals. The
