The exhaustive trichlorosilylation of hexachloro-1,3-butadiene was achieved in one step by using a mixture of Si2Cl6 and [nBu4N]Cl (7:2 equiv) as the silylation reagent. The corresponding butadiene dianion salt [nBu4N]2[1] was isolated in 36 % yield after recrystallization. The negative charges of [1]2− are mainly delocalized across its two carbanionic (Cl3Si)2C termini (α-effect of silicon) such that the central bond possesses largely C=C double-bond character. Upon treatment with 4 equiv of HCl, [1]2− is converted into neutral 1,2,3,4-tetrakis(trichlorosilyl)but-2-ene, 3. The Cl− acceptor AlCl3, induces a twofold ring-closure reaction of [1]2− to form a six-membered bicycle 4 in which two silacyclobutene rings are fused along a shared C=C double bond (84 %). Compound 4, which was structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography, undergoes partial ring opening to a monocyclic silacyclobutene 2 in the presence of HCl, but is thermally stable up to at least 180 °C.
Two salts of the 6,6-difluoro-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaborinin-6-ide anion with different cations
(2020)
The crystal structures are reported of the 6,6-difluoro-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaborinin-6-ide (or 9,9-difluoro-10-oxa-9-boraphenanthren-9-ide) anion with two different cations, namely, potassium 6,6-difluoro-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaborinin-6-ide, K+·C12H8BF2O−, (II), featuring a polymeric structure, and bis(tetraphenylphosphonium) bis(6,6-difluoro-6H-dibenzo[c,e][1,2]oxaborinin-6-ide) acetonitrile trisolvate, 2C24H20P+·2C12H8BF2O−·3CH3CN, (III), which is composed of discrete cations, anions and acetonitrile solvent molecules linked by C—H...O, C—H...N and C—H...F hydrogen bonds. There are only minor differences in the geometrical parameters of the anions in these structures.
