The preparation and x-ray structure of [P(C2H5)4]+[N3]− and the attempted preparation of [PH4]+[N3]−

Tetraethylphosphonium azide, [P(C₂H₅)₄ ]⁺[N₃ ]⁻, was prepared from tetraethyl phosphonium bromide and silver azide. Single crystals of [P(C₂H₅)₄ ]⁺[N₃ ]⁻ were grown from dichloromethane/THF (10:1) solution. The structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. [P(C₂H₅)₄ ]⁺[N₃ ]⁻ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C 2/c with Z = 4 and unit cell dimensions a = 12.961(6), b = 6.835(3), c = 12.378(6) Å, and β = 100.57(4)°. The attempted preparation of phosphonium azide [PH₄]⁺[N₃]⁻ from phosphonium iodide and silver azide lead instead to the formation of PH₃ and HN₃. The instability of [PH₄]⁺[N₃]⁻ with respect to PH₃ and HN₃ is in accord with thermodynamic considerations according to which the reaction PH₃(g) and HN₃(g) to yield [PH₄ ]⁺[N₃ ]⁻ is thermodynamically unfavorable.

Dodecahydro‐nido‐undecaborate [B11H12]3–

The deprotonation of the nido‐anion [B₁₁H₁₄]^– by two equivalents of LitBu yields the anion [B₁₁H₁₂]^3–. Three observed ¹¹B NMR shifts of this anion in the ratio 1 : 5 : 5 are in agreement with shifts calculated by the GIAO method on the basis of the ab initio computed geometry. The deprotonation can be reversed, giving back [B₁₁H₁₄]^– via [B₁₁H₁₃]^2–. The thermolysis of [Li(thp)_x]₃[B₁₁H₁₂] in thp at 80 °C leads to the closo‐borate [Li(thp)₃]₂[B₁₁H₁₁] under elimination of LiH. Anhydrous air transforms [B₁₁H₁₂]^3– into the known oxa‐nido‐dodecaborate [OB₁₁H₁₂]^–. The rhoda‐closo‐dodecaborate [L₂RhB₁₁H₁₁]^3– is formed from [B₁₁H₁₂]^3– and RhL₃Cl (L = PPh₃).
