Double reduction of the THF adduct of 9H-9-borafluorene (1⋅THF) with excess alkali metal affords the dianion salts M2[1] in essentially quantitative yields (M=Li–K). Even though the added charge is stabilized through π delocalization, [1]2− acts as a formal boron nucleophile toward organoboron (1⋅THF) and tetrel halide electrophiles (MeCl, Et3SiCl, Me3SnCl) to form B−B/C/Si/Sn bonds. The substrate dependence of open-shell versus closed-shell pathways has been investigated.
The title compound, di-μ3-chlorido-tetra-μ2-chlorido-tetrakis(diethyl ether-κO)bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)tetramagnesium, [Mg4(C4H9)2Cl6(C4H10O)4], features an Mg4Cl6 open-cube cluster. The two four-coordinate Mg2+ ions show an almost tetrahedral coordination, whereas the two six-coordinate Mg2+ ions have their ligands in an octahedral environment. The Mg—Cl bond lengths differ depending on the coordination number (2 or 3) of the bridging μ-Cl− ligands. There are few comparable structures deposited in the Cambridge Structural Database.
SixGey alloys are emerging materials for modern semiconductor technology. Well-defined model systems of the bulk structures aid in understanding their intrinsic characteristics. Three such model clusters have now been realized in the form of the SixGey heteroadamantanes [0], [1], and [2] through selective one-pot syntheses starting from Me2GeCl2, Si2Cl6, and [nBu4N]Cl. Compound [0] contains six GeMe2 and four SiSiCl3 vertices, whereas one and two of the GeMe2 groups are replaced by SiCl2 moieties in compounds [1] and [2], respectively. Chloride-ion-mediated rearrangement quantitatively converts [2] into [1] at room temperature and finally into [0] at 60 °C, which is not only remarkable in view of the rigidity of these cage structures but also sheds light on the assembly mechanism.
Vicinally diiodinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (I2‐PAHs) are accessible from the corresponding diborylated B2‐PAHs through boron/iodine exchange. The B2‐PAHs have been prepared via twofold electrophilic borylation reactions templated by a vicinally disilylated benzene. Our protocol is applicable to fluorenes, acenes, annulated acenes, oligoaryls, and even [5]helicene. Using B2‐naphthalene as the example, we have shown that the reaction scope can, in principle, be expanded to include the synthesis of vicinally dibrominated and dihydroxylated PAHs. The usefulness of the building blocks provided by our method in the field of optoelectronic materials was demonstrated by the successful conversion of I2‐fluoranthene to the analogous doubly alkynylated fluoranthene emitter.
The crystal structure of the title compound, hexa-μ2-bromido-μ4-oxido-tetrakis[(diethyl ether)magnesium], [Mg4Br6O(C4H10O)4], determined from data measured at 173 K, differs from the previously known structure of diethyl ether magnesium oxybromide, which was determined from room-temperature data [Stucky & Rundle (1964 [triangle]). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 86, 4821–4825]. The title compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg, whereas the previously known structure crystallizes in a different tetragonal space group, namely P An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg21 c. Both molecules have crystallographic An external file that holds a picture, illustration, etc. Object name is e-67-m1614-efi7.jpg symmetry and show almost identical geometric parameters for the Mg, Br and O atoms. The crystal of the title compound turned out to be a merohedral twin emulating a structure with apparent Laue symmetry 4/mmm, whereas the correct Laue group is just 4/m. The fractional contribution of the minor twin component converged to 0.462 (1).
Two subvalent, redox-active diborane(4) anions, [3]4− and [3]2−, carrying exceptionally high negative charge densities are reported: Reduction of 9-methoxy-9-borafluorene with Li granules without stirring leads to the crystallization of the B(sp3)−B(sp2) diborane(5) anion salt Li[5]. [5]− contains a 2,2′-biphenyldiyl-bridged B−B core, a chelating 2,2′-biphenyldiyl moiety, and a MeO substituent. Reduction of Li[5] with Na metal gives the Na+ salt of the tetraanion [3]4− in which two doubly reduced 9-borafluorenyl fragments are linked via a B−B single bond. Comproportionation of Li[5] and Na4[3] quantitatively furnishes the diborane(4) dianion salt Na2[3], the doubly boron-doped congener of 9,9′-bis(fluorenylidene). Under acid catalysis, Na2[3] undergoes a formal Stone–Wales rearrangement to yield a dibenzo[g,p]chrysene derivative with B=B core. Na2[3] shows boron-centered nucleophilicity toward n-butyl chloride. Na4[3] produces bright blue chemiluminescence when exposed to air.

(2020)
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C28H42N2O5·H2O, consists of one half of the organic molecule and one half-molecule of water, both of which are located on a mirror plane which passes through the central C atoms and the hydroxyl group of the heterocyclic system. The hydroxyl group at the central ring is disordered over two equally occupied positions. The six-membered ring adopts a chair conformation, and the 2-hydroxybenzyl substituents occupy the sterically preferred equatorial positions. The aromatic rings make dihedral angles of 75.57 (9)° with the mean plane of the heterocyclic ring. The dihedral angle between the two aromatic rings is 19.18 (10)°. The molecular structure features two intramolecular phenolic O-H...N hydrogen bonds with graph-set motif S(6). In the crystal, molecules are connected via O-H...O hydrogen bonds into zigzag chains running along the a-axis direction.
Synthesis and crystal structure of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)-1,3-diazinan-5-ol
(2022)
The redetermined structure of 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-bis(4-methoxybenzyl)-1,3-diazinan-5-ol, C26H30N2O4, at 173 K has orthorhombic (Pbca) symmetry. It was previously described by Bolte et al. [ Private Communication (refcode EWICEV). CCDC, Cambridge, England]. The title compound resulted from the condensation reaction between 1,3-bis{[(4-methoxyphenyl)methyl]amino}propan-2-ol and 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde in CH3OH. The structure exhibits disorder. One of the 4-methoxybenzyl groups, the hydroxy group bonded to the 1,3-diazinan ring, and the methyl group of the methoxy residue are disordered over two orientations, with occupancies of 0.807 (3)/0.193 (3), 0.642 (5)/0.358 (5), and 0.82 (4)/0.18 (4), respectively. The dihedral angles between the mean planes of the central 1,3-diazinan-5-ol and the 4-methoxyphenyl rings (both occupancy components of the disordered ring) are 88.65 (13), 85.79 (14) and 83.4 (7)°. The crystal packing is sustained by C—H...O and O—H...π interactions, giving rise to infinite chains running along the b-axis direction.
The title compound, C8H16N4·2C11H16O, was synthesized from the corresponding sterically crowded phenol by treatment with the aminal cage polyamine. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction structural analysis revealed the three-molecule aggregate to crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2/c with one half of a 1,3,6,8-tetraaztricyclo[4.4.1.13,8]dodecane (TATD) molecule and one 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol molecule per asymmetric unit. The crystal structure features intermolecular O—H...N and C—H...O hydrogen bonds, as well as intermolecular C—H...π interactions.
First crystal structure of a Pigment Red 52 compound: DMSO solvate hydrate of the monosodium salt
(2021)
Pigment Red 52, Na2[C18H11ClN2O6S], is an industrially produced hydrazone-laked pigment. It serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of the corresponding Ca2+ and Mn2+ salts, which are used commercially for printing inks and lacquers. Hitherto, no crystal structure of any salt of Pigment Red 52 is known. Now, single crystals have been obtained of a dimethyl sulfoxide solvate hydrate of the monosodium salt of Pigment Red 52, namely, monosodium 2-[2-(3-carboxy-2-oxo-1,2-dihydronaphthalen-1-ylidene)hydrazin-1-yl]-5-chloro-4-methylbenzenesulfonate dimethyl sulfoxide monosolvate monohydrate, Na+·C18H12ClN2O6S−·H2O·C2H6OS, obtained from in-house synthesized Pigment Red 52. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at 173 K. In this monosodium salt, the SO3− group is deprotonated, whereas the COOH group is protonated. The residues form chains via ionic interactions and hydrogen bonds. The chains are arranged in polar/non-polar double layers.
