Weakly coordinating anions HA2-generated from oxoanions A- and their conjugate acids. Coordination equilibria,ionic conductivities,and the structures of [Cu2(H(CH3SO3)2)4]n and [Cu(CO)(H(CF3CO2)2)]2

The coordination or ion pairing of the hydrogen-bonded anions H(CF3CO2)2- and H(CH3SO3)2- to NEt4+, Li+, Cu+, and/or Cu2+ was investigated. The structure of [Cu2(H(CH3SO3)2)4]n consists of centrosymmetric dimeric moieties that contain two homoconjugated (CH3SO2O-H...OSO2CH3)- anions per Cu2+ ion, forming typical Jahn-Teller tetragonally elongated CuO6 coordination spheres. The oxygen atoms involved in the nearly linear O-H...O hydrogen bonds (O...O approximately 2.62 A) are not coordinated to the Cu2+ ions. The structure of Cu2(CO)2(H(CF3-CO2)2)2 consists of pseudo-C2-symmetric dimers that contain one homoconjugated (CF3COO-H...OCOCF3)- anion per Cu+ ion, forming highly distorted tetrahedral Cu(CO)O3 coordination spheres. Three of the four oxygen atoms in each hydrogen-bonded H(CF3CO2)2- anion are coordinated to the Cu+ ions, including one of the oxygen atoms in each O-H...O hydrogen bond (O...O approximately 2.62 A). Infrared spectra (v(CO) values) of Cu(CO)(CF3CO2) or Cu(CO)(CH3SO3) dissolved in acetonitrile or benzene, with and without added CF3COOH or CH3SO3H, respectively, demonstrate that HA2- anions involving carboxylates or sulfonates are more weakly coordinating than the parent anions RCO2- and RSO3-. Direct current conductivities of THF solutions of Li(CF3CO2) containing varying concentrations of added CF3COOH further demonstrate that Li+ and NEt4+ ion pair much more weakly with H(CF3CO2)2- than with CF3CO2-.     

Na[Li(NH2BH3)2]--the first mixed-cation amidoborane with unusual crystal structure

We describe the successful synthesis of the first mixed-cation (pseudoternary) amidoborane, Na[Li(NH(2)BH(3))(2)], with theoretical hydrogen capacity of 11.1 wt%. Na[Li(NH(2)BH(3))(2)] crystallizes triclinic (P1) with a = 5.0197(4) ?, b = 7.1203(7) ?, c = 8.9198(9) ?, α = 103.003(6)°, β = 102.200(5)°, γ = 103.575(5)°, and V = 289.98(5) ?(3) (Z = 2), as additionally confirmed by Density Functional Theory calculations. Its crystal structure is topologically different from those of its orthorhombic LiNH(2)BH(3) and NaNH(2)BH(3) constituents, with distinctly different coordination spheres of Li (3 N atoms and 1 hydride anion) and Na (6 hydride anions). Na[Li(NH(2)BH(3))(2)], which may be viewed as a product of a Lewis acid (LiNH(2)BH(3))/Lewis base (NaNH(2)BH(3)) reaction, is an important candidate for a novel lightweight hydrogen storage material. The title material decomposes at low temperature (with onset at 75 °C, 6.0% mass loss up to 110 °C, and an additional 3.0% up to 200 °C) while evolving hydrogen contaminated with ammonia.     

Synthesis and stability of reactive salts of dodecafluoro-closo-dodecaborate(2-)

The synthesis and characterization of several salts of the B(12)F(12)(2-) anion are reported. The potassium salt was prepared in 72% recrystallized yield by treating K(2)B(12)H(12) with liquid HF at 70 degrees C for 14 h and 20% F(2)/N(2) in liquid HF at 25 degrees C for 72 h. The CPh(3)(+), N(n-Bu)(4)(+), NH(n-C(12)H(25))(3)(+), NH(4)(+), and Li(+) salts were prepared by metathesis reactions. The [NH(n-C(12)H(25))(3)](2)[B(12)F(12)] salt is soluble in aromatic hydrocarbon solvents. The B(12)F(12)(2-) anion is remarkably stable. The salts Li(2)B(12)F(12) and [NH(4)](2)[B(12)F(12)] were stable when heated to 450 and 480 degrees C, respectively. The B(12)F(12)(2-) anion did not react with 98% H(2)SO(4), 70% HNO(3), 3 M KOH, a 10-fold excess of Ce(NH(4))(2)(NO(3))(6) in aqueous solution, or metallic sodium in THF. In addition, B(12)F(12)(2-) did not react with metallic lithium in a mixture of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate, was not reduced at 0 V versus Li(+/0) in that solvent, and underwent a quasi-reversible oxidation at 4.9 V versus Li(+/0). The structure of [CPh(3)](2)[B(12)F(12)] was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: tetragonal, space group I4(1)/acd, a = 19.102(2), b = 19.102(2), c = 20.535(3) A, V = 7492.2(2) A(3), Z = 8, T = 173(2) K, R(1) = 0.064. The B(12)F(12)(2-) anion weakly interacts with the two symmetry related CPh(3)(+) cations via F.C contacts of 3.087(2) A, which are very close to the 3.17 A sum of van der Waals radii for these two atoms. Taken together, the data suggest that B(12)F(12)(2-) may be useful as a very robust weakly coordinating anion.

Titanium(II) and titanium(III) tetrahydroborates. Crystal structures of [Li(Et2O)2][Ti2(BH4)5(PMe2Ph)4], Ti(BH4)3(PMe2Ph)2, and Ti(BH4)3(PEt3)2

The molecular structures of the titanium(III) borohydride complexes Ti(BH4)3(PEt3)2 and Ti(BH4)3(PMe2Ph)2 have been determined. If the BH4 groups are considered to occupy one coordination site, both complexes adopt distorted trigonal bipyramidal structures with the phosphines in the axial sites; the P-Ti-P angles deviate significantly from linearity and are near 156 degrees. In both compounds, two of the three BH4 groups are bidentate and one is tridentate. The deduced structures differ from the one previously described for the PMe3 analogue Ti(BH4)3(PMe3)2, in which two of the tetrahydroborate groups were thought to be bound to the metal in an unusual "side-on" (eta(2)-B,H) fashion. Because the PMe3, PEt3, and PMe2Ph complexes have nearly identical IR spectra, they most likely have similar structures. The current evidence strongly suggests that the earlier crystal structure of Ti(BH4)3(PMe3)2 was incorrectly interpreted and that these complexes all adopt structures in which two of the BH4 groups are bidentate and one is tridentate. The synthesis of the titanium(III) complex Ti(BH4)3(PMe2Ph)2 affords small amounts of a second product: the titanium(II) complex [Li(Et2O)2][Ti2(BH4)5(PMe2Ph)4]. The [Ti2(BH4)5(PMe2Ph)4]- anion consists of two Ti(eta(2)-BH4)2(PMe2Ph)2 centers linked by a bridging eta(2),eta(2)-BH4 group that forms a Ti...(mu-B)...Ti angle of 169.9(3) degrees. Unlike the distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometries seen for the titanium(III) complexes, the metal centers in this titanium(II) species each adopt nearly ideal tbp geometries with P-Ti-P angles of 172-176 degrees. All three BH4 groups around each Ti atom are bidentate. One of the BH4 groups on each Ti center bridges between Ti and an ether-coordinated Li cation, again in an eta(2),eta(2) fashion. The relationships between the electronic structures and the molecular structures of all these titanium complexes are briefly discussed.     

Thermodynamic properties of molecular borane amines and the [BH4-][NH4+] salt for chemical hydrogen storage systems from ab initio electronic structure theory

The heats of formation for the borane amines BH3NH3, BH2NH2, and HBNH, tetrahedral BH4-, and the BN molecule have been calculated by using ab initio molecular orbital theory. Coupled cluster calculations with single and double excitations and perturbative triples (CCSD(T)) were employed for the total valence electronic energies. Correlation consistent basis sets were used, up through the augmented quadruple-zeta, to extrapolate to the complete basis set limit. Core/valence, scalar relativistic, and spin-orbit corrections were included in an additive fashion to predict the atomization energies. Geometries were calculated at the CCSD(T) level up through at least aug-cc-pVTZ and frequencies were calculated at the CCSD(T)/aug-cc-pVDZ level. The heats of formation (in kcal/mol) at 0 K in the gas phase are Delta Hf(BH3NH3) = -9.1, Delta Hf(BH2NH2) = -15.9, Delta Hf(BHNH) = 13.6, Delta Hf(BN) = 146.4, and Delta Hf(BH4-) = -11.6. The reported experimental value for Delta Hf(BN) is clearly in error. The heat of formation of the salt [BH4-][NH4+](s) has been estimated by using an empirical expression for the lattice energy and the calculated heats of formation of the two component ions. The calculations show that both BH3NH3(g) and [BH4-][NH4+](s) can serve as good hydrogen storage systems which release H2 in a slightly exothermic process. The hydride affinity of BH3 is calculated to be 72.2 kcal/mol, in excellent agreement with the experimental value at 298 K of 74.2 +/- 2.8 kcal/mol.     

Lithium amidohydridoaluminates

The amidohydridometalates [Li(THF)4][HAl(NPh2)3] (1), [Li(DME)3][HAl(N(CH2Ph)2)3] (2), and [((THF)3Li)-(H2Al(NcHex2)2)].0.5toluene (3.0.5toluene; cHex = C6H11) have been prepared by reaction of the corresponding amines with LiAlH4 in THF. For 2 recrystallization from DME is required to obtain crystals, suitable for X-ray diffraction. The new compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, IR, NMR, and MS techniques, and X-ray structure analyses. According to this the anions of 1, 2, and 3x0.5toluene possess distorted tetrahedral coordination spheres. In 3x0.5toluene a Li...H contact of 184(4) pm was detected to complete the tetrahedral coordination of the Li+ center.     

Synthesis and Structure of Iron Complex with 1,2—Dithiolate—1,2—dicarba—closo—dodecaborane [Li（THF）4][Fe（S2C2B10H10）2（THF）]

1 INTRODUCTION The complexes containing dithiolate ligands have played a well-established role in modern coordination chemistry[1]. There is continuous interest in complexes of chalcogenolate ligands with transition metals such as complexes of Pd[1], Mo[1], Au[2], Ir[3～6], Rh[4, 5], Co[7] and Re[1, 8] containing a chelating 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecabarane-1,2-dich- alcogenolate ligand. Some of these complexes have become important in the study of new molecular materials[1, 9, 10]. Th…     

Linear hybrid aminoborane/phosphinoborane chains: synthesis, proton-hydride interactions, and thermolysis behavior

The reaction of the lithiated phosphine-borane adducts Li[PPhR.BH(3)] or Li[CH(2)-PR(2).BH(3)] with Me(2)NH.BH(2)Cl afforded the hybrid linear species Me(2)NH-BH(2)-PPhR-BH(3) (1, R = Ph; 2, R = H) or Me(2)NH-BH(2)-CH(2)-PR(2)-BH(3) (3, R = Ph; 4, R = Me). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies on 1 and 3, the first for linear hybrid aminoborane/phosphinoborane adducts, confirmed the expected four-coordinate N-B-P-B and N-B-C-P-B frameworks. In addition, interactions between the protic N-H and hydridic B-H hydrogen atoms resulted in short intermolecular H...H contacts for 1, whereas 3 was found to possess an exceptionally short intramolecular H...H distance of 1.95 A. Solution and solid state infrared studies on 3 and 4 also suggest that these dihydrogen interactions were maintained even in dilute solution. Hydrogen bond strengths in the range of 7.9 to 10.9 kJ mol(-1) indicate the presence of a relatively weak interaction. The thermal and catalytic dehydrocoupling reactivities of 1-4 were also investigated. Chain cleavage reactions were observed for 1 and 2 upon thermolysis at 130 degrees C to afford species such as Me(2)NH.BH(3), [Me(2)N-BH(2)](2), PhPRH.BH(3) (R = Ph, H), PhPRH (R = Ph, H), Ph(2)PH-BH(2)-PPh(2)-BH(3), and also the low molecular weight polyphosphinoborane [PhPH-BH(2)](n) (M(w) approximately 5000). Similar products were observed for the attempted catalytic dehydrocoupling reactions but under milder reaction conditions (50 degrees C). Thermolysis of 3 at 130 degrees C yielded the six-membered ring [BH(2)-CH(2)-PPh(2)](2) (5), which presumably results from the dissociation of Me(2)NH.BH(3) from 3. Thermolysis of 4 at 90 degrees C afforded Me(2)NH.BH(3) and Me(3)P.BH(3), in addition to a product tentatively assigned as [BH(2)-CH(2)-PMe(2)](2) (6).     

Structure and dynamics of ammonium borohydride

Synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction, ab initio molecular dynamics calculations and solid state (1)H and (2)H NMR are used to refine the structure of crystalline NH(4)BH(4) including H atoms. Rapid reorientations of both ions mean that on average half-hydrogens occupy the corners of a cube around B or N.     

Comparison of protective effects against reactive oxygen species of mononuclear and dinuclear Cu(II) complexes with N-substituted benzothiazolesulfonamides

Copper(II) complexes of N-benzothiazolesulfonamides (HL1=N-2-(4-methylphenylsulfamoyl)-6-nitro-benzothiazole, HL2=N-2-(phenylsulfamoyl)-6-chloro-benzothiazole, and HL3=N-2-(4-methylphenylsulfamoyl)-6-chloro-benzothiazole) with ammonia have been synthesized and characterized. The crystal structures of the [Cu(L1)2(NH3)2].2MeOH, [Cu(L2)2(NH3)2], and [Cu(L3)2(NH3)2] compounds have been determined. Compounds and present a distorted square planar geometry. In both compounds the metal ion is coordinated by two benzothiazole N atoms from two sulfonamidate anions and two NH3 molecules. Complex is distorted square-pyramidal. The Cu(II) ion is linked to the benzothiazole N and sulfonamidate O atoms of one of the ligands, the benzothiazole N of another sulfonamidate anion, and two ammonia N atoms. We have tested the superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity of the compounds and compared it with that of two dinuclear compounds [Cu2(L4)2(OCH3)2(NH3)2] and [Cu2(L4)2(OCH3)2(dmso)2] (HL4=N-2-(phenylsulfamoyl)-4-methyl-benzothiazole). In vitro indirect assays show that the dimeric complexes are better SOD mimics than the monomeric ones. We have also assayed the protective action provided by the compounds against reactive oxygen species over Deltasod1 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In contrast to the in vitro results, the mononuclear compounds were more protective to SOD-deficient S. cerevisiae strains than the dinuclear complexes.     

Crystal structure of the 2-hydroxy-3,3,4-trimethyl-2-oxo-5-cyanimino-1, 4,2-diazaphospholidine diethylammonium salt

Crystal structure of the 2-hydroxy-3,3,4-trimethyl-2-oxo-5-cyanimino-1,4,2-diazaphospholidine diethylammonium salt (I) was studied by X-ray diffraction analysis: space group P2₁/c, a=9.773(1), b=12.7617(8), c=12.064(2) Å, β=95.02(1)°, Z=4; R=0.041 (CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, λCuK_α, 2518 independent reflections with I≥3δ). In anion I, the P atom (forming two Pō sesquibonds) has a considerably distorted tetrahedral coordination. In the extended flattened molecular fragment of anion I involving 7 atoms [P?N?C(?N)=N?C≡N], the π-electron densities of the atoms are conjugated. The five-membered heterocycle of anion I has a distorted P,C₃-half-chair conformation. The crystal structure of compound I has interionic hydrogen bonds linking anions I into centrosymmetric H-dimers and also linking anions I and Et₂NH ₂ ⁺ into centrosymmetric H-tetramers.     

Structures and static electric properties of novel alkalide anions F-Li+Li- and F-Li3+Li3-

Novel cluster anions Li2F- and Li6F- with alkalide character have been studied in the present paper. In contrast to a typical neutral alkalide, Li2F- contains a F- anion instead of the neutral ligand and forms an alkalide anion F-Li+Li-. In addition to a F- anion ligand, Li6F- contains a Li3+ superalkali cation instead of the alkali metal cation and a Li3- superalkali anion instead of the alkali metal anion, and this alkalide anion can be denoted by F-Li3+Li3-, which is supported by NBO charge results. The results indicate that the F- anion can polarize not only the Li atom but also the Li3 superalkali to form alkalide anions with excess electrons. For Li2F-, two linear structures (1Sigma+ and 3Sigma+ states) are obtained. For Li6F-, the structure of the 1A1 state is a trigonal antiprism capped by the F- anion with C3v symmetry, while the structure of the 7A' state is a slightly distorted trigonal antiprism with Cs symmetry. Due to the excess electrons on the alkali metal and superalkali anions (Li- and Li3-), the alkalide anions Li2F- and Li6F- have large first hyperpolarizabilities (beta0=1.116x10(4)-1.764x10(5) au). For the spin multiplicity effect on electric properties, in these two alkalide anions, the values of the static electric properties, especially the first hyperpolarizabilities, of the high spin states are larger than the corresponding values of the low spin states. For the substitution effect of superalkali atoms, in the two singlet states, as the Li3 superalkalis substitute the Li atoms, the value of the mean of polarizability increases, while the values of dipole moment and the first hyperpolarizability decrease.     

Investigations of the TeCl(4)-(t)BuNHLi Reaction: Synthesis, X-ray Structures, and Fluxional Behavior of the Tellurium-Nitrogen Compounds [Li(2)Te(N(t)Bu)(3)](2), {[LiTe(N(t)Bu)(2)(NH(t)Bu)](2)LiCl}(2), and {Te(2)(N(t)Bu)(4)[LiTe(N(t)Bu)(2)(NH(t)Bu)]LiCl}(2)

The reaction of (t)BuNHLi with TeCl(4) in toluene at -78 degrees C produces (t)BuNTe(&mgr;-N(t)Bu)(2)TeN(t)Bu (1) (55%) or [((t)BuNH)Te(&mgr;-N(t)Bu)(2)TeN(t)Bu]Cl (2) (65%) for 4:1 or 7:2 molar ratios, respectively. The complex {Te(2)(N(t)Bu)(4)[LiTe(N(t)Bu)(2)(NH(t)Bu)]LiCl}(2) (5) is obtained as a minor product (23%) from the 4:1 reaction. It is a centrosymmetric dimer in which each half consists of the tellurium diimide dimer 1 bonded through an exocyclic nitrogen atom to a molecule of LiTe(N(t)Bu)(2)(NH(t)Bu) which, in turn, is linked to a LiCl molecule. Crystals of 5 are monoclinic, of space group C2/c, with a = 27.680(6) ?, b = 23.662(3) ?, c = 12.989(2) ?, beta = 96.32(2) degrees, V = 8455(2) ?(3), and Z = 4. The final R and R(w) values were 0.046 and 0.047. At 65 degrees C in toluene solution, 5 dissociates into 1, LiCl, and {[LiTe(N(t)Bu)(2)(NH(t)Bu)](2)LiCl}(2) (4), which may also be prepared by treatment of [Li(2)Te(N(t)Bu)(3)](2) (6) with 2 equiv of HCl gas. The centrosymmetric structure of 6 consists of a distorted hexagonal prism involving two pyramidal Te(N(t)Bu)(3)(2)(-) anions linked by four Li atoms to give a Te(2)N(6)Li(4) cluster. Crystals of 6 are monoclinic, of space group P2(1)/c, with a = 10.194(2) ?, b = 17.135(3) ?, c = 10.482(2) ?, beta = 109.21(1) degrees, V = 1729.0(5) ?(3), and Z = 2. The final R and R(w) values were 0.026 and 0.023. VT (1)H and (7)Li NMR studies reveal that, unlike 1, compounds 2, 4, and 6 are fluxional molecules. Possible mechanisms for these fluxional processes are discussed.     

Oxygen-bridged borate anions from tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane: synthesis, NMR characterization, and reactivity

The previously known anion [(C6F5)3B(mu-OH)B(C6F5)3]- (2) has been prepared by a two-step procedure, involving deprotonation of (C6F5)3BOH2 to give [B(C6F5)3OH]- (1), followed by addition of B(C6F5)3. The solution structure and the dynamics of 2 have been investigated by 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopy. The reaction of [NHEt3]2 with NEt3 resulted in the formation of [NHEt3]+ [(C6F5)3BOH]-, [NHEt3]+ [(C6F5)3BH]-, and (C6F5)3B- (CH2CH=N+ Et2). This indicates that in the presence of a nucleophile anion 2 can dissociate to B(C6F5)3 and 1. The reaction of [HDMAN]2 with 1,8-bis(dimethylamino)naphthalene (DMAN) confirmed this trend. In the presence of water, 2 transformed into the adduct [(C6F5)3BO(H)H...O(H)B(C6F5)3]- (3), containing the borate 1 hydrogen-bonded to a water molecule coordinated to B(C6F5)3. The same compound is formed by treating (C6F5)3BOH2 with 0.5 equiv of a base. A competition study established that for 1 the Lewis acid-base interaction with B(C6F5)3 is about 5 times preferred over H-bonding to (C6F5)3BOH2. The X-ray single-crystal analysis of [2-methyl-3H-indolium]3 provided the first experimental observation of an asymmetric H-bond in the [H3O2]- moiety, the measured O-H and H...O bond distances being significantly different [1.14(2) vs 1.26(2) A]. The reaction of NEt3 with an equimolar mixture of B(C6F5)3 and bis(pentafluorophenyl)borinic acid, (C6F5)2BOH, afforded the novel borinatoborate salt [NHEt3]+ [(C6F5)3BOB(C6F5)2]- ([NHEt3]4). X-ray diffraction showed that the B-O bond distances are significantly shorter than in [(C6F5)3B(mu-OH)B(C6F5)3]-. Variable-temperature 19F NMR revealed high mobility of the five aryl rings, at variance with the more crowded anion 2. 2D NMR correlation experiments showed that in CD2Cl2 the two anions [(C6F5)3BOH]- and [(C6F5)3BH]- form tight ion pairs with [NHEt3]+, in which the NH proton establishes a conventional (BO...HN) or an unconventional (BH...HN), respectively, hydrogen bond with the anion. The diborate anions 2-4, on the contrary, gave loose ion pairs with the ammonium cation, due both to the delocalized anionic charge and to the more sterically encumbered position of the oxygen atoms that should act as H-bond acceptors.     

Syntheses and structural characterizations of anionic borane-capped ammonia borane oligomers: evidence for ammonia borane H2 release via a base-promoted anionic dehydropolymerization mechanism

Studies of the activating effect of Verkade's base, 2,8,9-triisobutyl-2,5,8,9-tetraaza-1-phosphabicyclo[3.3.3]undecane (VB), on the rate and extent of H(2) release from ammonia borane (AB) have led to the syntheses and structural characterizations of three anionic aminoborane chain-growth products that provide direct support for anionic dehydropolymerization mechanistic steps in the initial stages of base-promoted AB H(2) release reactions. The salt VBH(+)[H(3)BNH(2)BH(2)NH(2)BH(3)](-) (1) containing a linear five-membered anionic aminoborane chain was produced in 74% yield via the room-temperature reaction of a 3:1 AB/VB mixture in fluorobenzene solvent, while the branched and linear-chain seven-membered anionic aminoborane oligomers VBH(+)[HB(NH(2)BH(3))(3)](-) (2a) and VBH(+)[H(3)BNH(2)BH(2)NH(2)BH(2)NH(2)BH(3)](-) (2b) were obtained from VB/AB reactions carried out at 50 °C for 5 days when the AB/VB ratio was increased to 4:1. X-ray crystal structure determinations confirmed that these compounds are the isoelectronic and isostructural analogues of the hydrocarbons n-pentane, 3-ethylpentane, and n-heptane, respectively. The structural determinations also revealed significant interionic B-H···H-N dihydrogen-bonding interactions in these anions that could enhance dehydrocoupling chain-growth reactions. Such mechanistic pathways for AB H(2) release, involving the initial formation of the previously known [H(3)BNH(2)BH(3)](-) anion followed by sequential dehydrocoupling of B-H and H-N groups of growing borane-capped aminoborane anions with AB, are supported by the fact that 1 was observed to react with an additional AB equivalent to form 2a and 2b.

Cesium hydridotris(trifluoromethyl)borate, Cs[(CF3)3BH

Treatment of Cs[(CF3)3BNH2] with the aminating agent H2NOSO3H in aqueous solution allowed the isolation of pure Cs[(CF3)3BH], which is stable up to 300 degrees C. Due to the strong electron-withdrawing effect of the CF3 substituents, the [(CF3)3BH]- anion behaves as a very unreactive hydride. It is stable in concentrated hydrochloric acid for many days but reacts cleanly with F2, Cl2, and Br2 to the corresponding haloborates. The molecular structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal data: orthorhombic, space group Pnma; a = 11.4296(5) A, b = 7.9510(4) A, c = 9.7268(5) A; V = 883.94(7) A(3), Z = 4; R1 = 0.0294, wR2 = 0.0818. The anions exhibit only Cs symmetry in the lattice. The natural and deuterated anions were characterized by IR, Raman, and multinuclear NMR spectroscopy; vibrational assignments were supported by DFT calculations. QTAIM charges derived from the B3LYP electron density are given for [(CF3)3BH]- and several related anions.     

THE SYNTHESIS AND STRUCTURE OF THE IMIDAZOLATE-BRIDGED HETEROTRINUCLEAR COMPLEX (en)_2Ni[(Im)Co-(NH_3)_5]_2(CIO_4)_6·5H_2O

<正> (H2NC2H4NH2)2Ni [(C3H3N2) Co (NH3)5]2 (CIO4)6 · 5H2O,NiCo2Cl6O29N18C10H62, Mr = 1288. 00, monoclinic, C2/c, a = 31. 832(4), b = 9. 691 (1), c=15. 425(4)(?),β=90. 71(2)°, Z = 4, V = 4758. 0(?)3, Dc=1. 798g/cm3, μ (MoKa) = 15. 22cm-1, F(000)=2656. The three metal nuclei, one Ni( Ⅱ ) and two Co( Ⅲ ), bridged by two imidazolyl anions (Im = C3H3N2), form an isosceles triangle. The Ni( Ⅱ ) atom is situated on the two-fold axis and coordinated by six nitrogen atoms to form a distorted octahedron with two nitrogen atoms from two Im in cis-positions. The two Co( Ⅲ ) atoms are related by C2 symmetry and each Co( Ⅲ ) is coordinated by six nitrogen atoms to form an octahedral configuration.
