Mixed pyrrolide cobaltadicarbollides have been prepared from the reaction involving potassium pyrrolide, anhydrous CoCl2 and the [7,8-(C6H5)2-nido-7,8-C2B9H10]- anion in dimethoxyethane. An alternative and higher-yield route consists in the reaction between 1,2-(C6H5)2-closo-1,2-C2B10H10 and potassium pyrrolide in the presence of anhydrous CoCl2. As confirmed by the X-ray diffraction analysis of [3-(η5-NC4H4)-1,11-(C6H5)2-closo-3,1,11-CoC2B9H9], the phenyl rings were found to enhance the rearrangement of the metallacarborane cluster carbons to produce the 3,1,11-isomer instead of the expected 3,1,2-derivative. As suggested by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, the electron-withdrawing properties and steric requirements of the phenyl rings facilitate the rearrangement.

3β-Acetoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-28,20β-olide (IIIa) reacts with acetic anhydride in pyridine under very mild conditions affording β-lactone IVa and γ-lactones Va and VIIa as condensation products. On reaction with pyridine, lactones Va and VIIa undergo elimination of acetic acid to give unsaturated lactones VIIIa and IXa, respectively. Similarly, the condensation of 20β,28-epoxy-21,22-dioxo-18α,19βH-ursan-3β-yl acetate (IIIb) with acetic anhydride leads to β-lactone IVb and γ-lactone Vb; the latter on heating with pyridine affords unsaturated lactone VIIIb and 21-methylene-22-ketone Xb. The structure of the obtained compounds was derived using spectral methods, particularly 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy; structure of lactone IVa was confirmed by X-ray diffraction.

Thermolysis of [8,8-(PMe2Ph)2-nido-8,7-PtCB9H11] in boiling toluene solution results in an elimination of the platinum centre and cluster closure to give the ten-vertex closo species [6-(PMe2Ph)-closo-1-CB9H9] in 85% yield as a colourles air stable solid. The product is characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals (from hexane-dichloromethane) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 903.20(9), b = 1 481.86(11), c = 2 320.0(2) pm, β = 97.860(7)° and Z = 8, and the structure has been refined to R(Rw) = 0.045(0.051) for 3 281 observed reflections with Fo > 2.0σ(Fo). The clean high-yield elimination of a metal centre from a polyhedral metallaborane or metallaheteroborane species is very rare.

The reactions of electron-rich organosilicon compounds 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene (1), 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene (2), and 1,1′-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,1′-dihydro-4,4′-bipyridine (12) with B-amino and B-aryl dihaloboranes afforded a series of novel B=N-bond-containing compounds 3–11 and 13. The B=N rotational barriers of 7 (>71.56 kJ/mol), 10 (58.79 kJ/mol), and 13 (58.65 kJ/mol) were determined by variable-temperature 1H-NMR spectroscopy, thus reflecting different degrees of B=N double bond character in the corresponding compounds. In addition, ring external olefin isomers 11 were obtained by a reaction between 2 and DurBBr2. All obtained B=N-containing products were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 5, 9, 10a, 11, and 13a were also characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

The aluminium complexes {[κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]AlMe2}2 (2), [κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]2AlMe (3), and [κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]3Al (4) were prepared through the protonolysis reaction between trimethylaluminium and one, two, or three equivalents, respectively, of N-tert-butylbenzamide. Complex 2 was also prepared via a salt metathesis reaction between K(t-BuNCOPh) and dimethylaluminium chloride. Complexes 2–4 were characterized using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the complexes corroborated ligand : metal stoichiometries and revealed that all the amidate ligands coordinate to the aluminium ion in a κ2 fashion. The Al–amidate complexes 2–4 were viable catalyst precursors for the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley–Oppenauer reduction–oxidation manifold, successfully interconverting several classes of carbonyl and alcohol substrates.

This paper describes the synthesis and comprehensive characterization of tetrakis(pentafluoroethyl)germane. In addition to a complete NMR spectroscopic characterization, including the rarely used 73Ge NMR spectroscopy, Ge(C2F5)4 was studied by IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry as well as X-ray diffraction analysis. A 73Ge NMR investigation as well as an X-ray diffraction study of the related germane Ge(CF3)4 are also included.

The crystal structures of the title compounds were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The molecule of the Z isomer, which crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with Z = 4 in a cell of dimensions a = 14.891 (2), b = 10.780(2), c = 8.769(1) Å, β = 97.47(2)°, V = 1395.7(7) Å3 has crystallographic twofold symmetry. The E form crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 11.730(1), b = 6.932(1), c = 16.841(1) Å, V = 1369.4(2) Å3 and Z = 4. Its molecules have crystallographically dictated [Formula: see text] symmetry. In both isomers the phenyl rings are roughly perpendicular to the average ethylene plane. The atoms characterizing this plane show significant deviations from planarity in the Z isomer. Marked bond-angle distortions at the ethene carbons of both structures are observed. The 1H and 13C NMR spectra of the compounds were measured and, particularly in the case of the 1H chemical shifts, fall into two quite separate spectral regions. At low temperature, two conformational isomers, those with different relative orientation of the C—Cl bonds of the phenyl rings, are observed in the spectrum of each compound. Keywords: chlorostilbenes, overcrowded molecules. X-ray structure, conformations, NMR spectroscopy.

The crystals belong to the orthorhombic space group C222, with a = 9.226, b = 12.092, c = 16.513 Å, Z = 4. A single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis has shown that the title compound, in which all carbon atoms are sp2 hybridized, exists with the ten membered ring in a slightly twisted tub conformation. The 13C nmr spectrum is also reported.

The reactions of tBuN = VCl2 · DME with LiX (X = NHtBu, NR2, OSiPh3, SR, Alkyl, Cp) have been studied. LiNHtBu and LiCH3 furnish the binuclear diamagnetic tert-butylimido-vanadium( IV) compounds [(μ-NtBu)2V2X4]; in all other cases only the vanadium(V) compounds tBuN=VX3 and tBuN=VCpCl2 formed by disproportionation reactions of vanadium(IV) can be isolated. The syntheses of various mononuclear amido tert-butylimido-vanadium(V) complexes as well as of the binuclear complexes [μ-NtBu)2V2(NtBu)2Cl2] and [(μ-0)V2(NtBu)2Cp2Cl2] are also described. All compounds obtained have been characterized by 51V NMR spectroscopy. tBuN=V(OMe)3 was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis; the molecular structure has been found to be that of a binuclear vanadium(V) complex with two bridging methoxo ligands.
