Synthesis,Crystal Structure,and Spectroscopic Characterization of the Borazine Derivatives [B{CH2(SiCl3)}NH]3 and [B{CH2(SiCl2CH3)}NH]3

The borazine derivatives B, B′, B″‐tris(trichlorosilyl)methyl]borazine B{CH₂(SiCl₃)}NH]₃ ( 1 ), and B, B′, B″‐tris{dichloro(methyl)silyl}methyl]borazine B{CH₂(SiCl₂CH₃)}NH]₃ ( 2 ) were prepared by reacting (Cl₃Si)CH₂(BCl₂) ( 3 ) and Cl₂(CH₃)Si]CH₂(BCl₂) ( 4 ) with hexamethyldisilazane (hmds), respectively. Both compounds, 1 and 2 crystallize in space group R3c with a = 1712.53(4), c = 1230.33(4) pm, Z = 6, R₁ = 0.030, and a = 1713.8(2), c = 1258.7(2) pm, Z = 6, R₁ = 0.034, respectively. According to the single crystal X‐ray diffraction analyses, the title compounds show a planar B₃N₃ six‐membered ring with B—N distances of 142.3(3) pm (point symmetry C₃) and synfacial oriented substituents. The borazine derivatives have also been characterized by NMR and IR spectroscopy as well as by MS spectrometry.
