Crystals of phenylboronic acid are orthorhombic, a = 17.9049(7), b = 115.3264(5), c = 9.8113(2) Å, Z = 16, space group Iba2. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.031 and Rw of 0.041 for 1409 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The asymmetric unit consists of two independent molecules linked by a pair of O—H … O hydrogen bonds. Each dimeric unit is also hydrogen bonded to four other such units (at [Formula: see text]) to form an infinite array of layers which stack along the c axis. Mean bond lengths corrected for libration (rms deviations from the mean in parentheses) are: O—B, 1.371(7), B—C, 1.565(3), and C—C(phenyl), 1.394(11) Å.

The reaction of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine with phenylboronic acid leads to the product 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane rather than the expected product 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,5-diaza-2,4-dioxa-3-boracyclohexane. The structure of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine has been determined and is discussed in terms of its reaction with PhB(OH)2. Crystals of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine are tetragonal, a = 8.5346(3), c = 8.4178(7) Å, Z = 4, space group P421c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.036 and Rw of 0.038 for 333 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers having exact [Formula: see text] symmetry. Keywords: N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine, crystal structure.

Details of the preparation and physical properties of (Me4N)+ (Ph4B3O3)− are given. Crystals of tetramethylammonium 2,4,6,6-tetraphenyl-1,3,5-trioxa-2,4-dibora-6-boratacyclohexane are orthorhombic, a = 18.130(2), b = 11.9745(7), c = 12.5187(5) Å, Z = 4, space group Pna21. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.056 and Rw = 0.064 for 1460 reflections with I ≥ 2σ(I). The crystal structure consists of discrete tetramethylammonium cations and tetraphenylboroxinate anions, the first such anion to be structurally characterized. The six-membered B3O3 ring is significantly non-planar, having a flattened O(1)-envelope conformation (maximum deviation from the mean plane = 0.074(4) Å for O(1)). The boroxine ring in the anion shows significant deviations from the D3h symmetry observed for neutral boroxines. Important mean structural parameters: B(sp3)—O = 1.494(2), B(sp2)—O[B(sp3)] = 1.320(9), B(sp2)—O[B(sp2)] = 1.389(3) Å, O—B(sp3)—O = 110.5(5), O—B(sp2)—O = 121.7(6), B(sp2)—O—B(sp2) = 118.9(5), and B(sp3)—O—B(sp2) = 122.9(1)°.

The title compound 2 crystallizes monoclinic, and the space group was determined to be C 2/c. The unit cell contains 16 molecules grouped in two sets of crystallographic independent molecules. The structure was solved by direct methods. Full matrix refinement led to R = 0.09. The molecules have C2 symmetry. The compound is composed of two five membered diazaborolidine rings joined by a boron-boron bond. The two nearly planar rings are twisted to one another by 61.6° and 56.8° respectively

Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic, a = 15.539(4), b = 9.061(1), c = 16.707(6) Å, β = 107.19(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The measured and calculated densities are 1.19 and 1.180(1) g cm−3, respectively. The structure was determined by direct methods and refined by electron-density and full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.047 for 2503 observed reflections. The six-membered phosphazene ring is slightly, but significantly, non-planar, the conformation being that of a distorted boat. The molecule has approximate D3 symmetry. The ring P—N bonds are all equal, mean P—N = 1.588(3) Å, and the relatively short exocyclic P—N bonds, mean 1.652(4) Å, indicate the presence of exocyclic π-bonding in the molecule. The N—C bonds range from 1.417(7) to 1.471(5) with a mean of 1.45(2) Å. The mean endocyclic N—P—N and P—N—P angles are 116.7(4) and 123.0(4)°, respectively, while the exocyclic N—P—N angles average 101.5(8)°.

The title compound was prepared by the reaction of 8-methyl-6,6-diphenyl-5,7-dioxa-8-azonia-6-borata-6,7-dihydro-5H-benzocycloheptene (1) with phenylboronic acid. Crystals of 3a-methyl-2,4,9a-triphenyl-1,2,3a,4,9,9a-hexahydro-1,3,9-trioxa-3a-azonia-2-bora-9a-boratacyclopenta[b]naphthalene are monoclinic, a = 11.8548(4), b = 22.7837(4), c = 8.5457(3) Å, β = 106.952(2)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.040 and Rw = 0.047 for 2970 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The molecule was found to be a formal addition product between 1 and PhBO which had undergone a 1,4-shift of a phenyl group from boron to carbon. The backbone of the molecule consists of a folded system of three fused rings. The structure contains the longest known B(sp3)—N(sp3) bond, 1.759(2) Å.
