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)°.

Details of the synthesis, physical properties, and molecular structure of 4-isopropylidene-2,5,5-triphenyl-1,3-dioxa-4-azonia-2-bora-5-boratacyclopentane are reported. Crystals of this compound are monoclinic, a = 14.126(3), b = 16.008(1), c = 8.642(2) Å, β = 99.052(8)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.032 and Rw = 0.033 for 1117 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The molecule contains a nearly planar five-membered B—O—B—O—N ring which incorporates both trigonal planar boron (B—O = 1.333(4) and 418(4), B—C = 1.548(5) Å) and tetrahedral boron atoms (B—O = 1.495(4), B—N = 1.676(4), B—C = 2 at 1.603(5) Å). Other important libration-corrected bond distances include: C=N = 1.284(3) and N—O = 1.418(3) 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.

The reaction of Ν,Ν′-diethyloxalohydroxamic acid with oxybis(diphenylborane) yields the title compound. Crystals of 4,8-diethyl-2,2,6,6-tetraphenyl-1,3,5,7-tetraoxa-4,8-diazonia-2,6-diborata-1,2,3,5,6,7-hexahydronaphthalene are monoclinic, a = 14.3405(9), b = 14.3053(5), c = 14.9301(8) Å, β = 116.136(4)°, Z = 4, space groupP21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.038 and Rw = 0.038 for 3501 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The molecule has a novel bis-six-membered binuclear chelate structure, the Ph2B moieties each being coordinated by (N)O and (C=)O oxygen atoms from different hydroxamate groups. The mean libration-corrected bond distances (C=)O—B, 1.587 Å, (N)O—B, 1.511 Å, and B—C, 1.602 Å, represent the weakest overall binding strength of an O,O-chelating ligand with respect to the Ph2B moiety yet observed for a six-membered O—B—O chelate. Keywords: crystal structure, boron compound, organoboron compound.

Three 2-(hydroxyamino)alkanols have been reacted with sterically hindered arylboronic acids, ArB(OH)2. When Ar = o-tolyl, 1:2 condensates having bicyclic structures are formed but when Ar = mesityl (2,4,6-(CH3)3C6H2), 1:1 condensates having six-membered cycloboronate structures result. These 1:1 condensates represent the first examples of N-unsubstituted 1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane derivatives. An X-ray analysis of one example provides unambiguous proof of the structure. Crystals of 2-mesityl-6,6-pentamethylene-1,3-dioxa-4-aza-2-boracyclohexane, 3c, are monoclinic, a = 11.076(9), b = 23.94(2), c = 13.414(9) Å, β = 109.40(5)°, Z = 8, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.051 and Rw = 0.058 for 2037 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(F2).

Zinc metal reacts with excess 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Hdmpz) in the presence of O2 to produce materials of composition Zn(dmpz)2(Hdmpz)y. Thermolysis of these materials results in the loss of Hdmpz and the formation of the [Zn(dmpz)2]x polymer. Under appropriate conditions the pure dimer [Zn2(dmpz)4(Hdmpz)2] can be obtained in high yield. Crystals of bis[μ-(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl-N1,N2)]bis[(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)(3,5-dimethylpyrazole)zinc(II)] are orthorhombic, a = 17.009(2), b = 29.239(2), c = 13.590(2) Å, Z = 8, space group Fddd. The structure was solved by heavy atom methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.037 and Rw = 0.042 for 913 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure of [Zn2(dmpz)4(Hdmpz)2] contains nearly planar doubly dmpz bridged Zn2 units capped at each end by strongly hydrogen-bonded [Formula: see text] units. The zinc atoms display pseudotetrahedral coordination geometry with Zn—N = 1.991(3) (bridging) and 2.025(3) Å (terminal), and N—Zn—N = 99.6(2)–113.8(2)°. Keywords: zinc 3,5-dimethylpyrazolate complexes, crystal structure.
