The synthesis and properties of a new series of 1,9-diamino- substituted phenalene complexes of the cyclotriphosphazene ring system is described. One of the compounds is shown to be amphoteric and this behavior allows an examination of the response of the phosphazene linkage to variations in exocyclic charge density at the spiro center in a plane perpendicular to the cyclotriphosphazene ring system.
