1-Methylpyrroles, in which the 2-position is occupied by a pentafluorocyclotriphosphazenyl (1a), heptafluorocyclotetraphosphazenyl (1b), nonafluorocyclopentaphosphazenyl (1c), or undecafluorocyclohexaphosphazenyl group (1d), have been prepared from 2-lithio-1-methylpyrrole and the corresponding fluorophosphazene. Crystals of 1b are monoclinic, a = 17.300(2), b = 5.0281(3), c = 16.902(2) Å, β = 108.904(4)°, Z = 4, space group P2/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.038 and Rw = 0.047 for 1167 observed reflections. The N4P4 ring is nearly planar. The P—N bond lengths (corrected for libration) range from 1.524(5) to 1.562(5) Å with a mean value of 1.541(17) Å, and the mean ring angles are 122.9(20)° at phosphorus and 146.4(23)° at nitrogen. The geometry of the 1-methylpyrryl group shows no unexpected features, but the P—C bond (1.756(5) Å) is significantly shorter than in typical P-phenyl derivatives, and the P—F bond at the same atom is comparatively long (1.561(4) Å). Conjugative electron release from the pyrryl group, involving pπ–dπ bonding, is indicated both by these geometrical features and by the appearance of intramolecular charge transfer bands in the electronic spectra of 1(a–d).

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 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)°.
