Abstract
There are two crystalline modifications of (acetylacetonato)diphenylboron: triclinic, a = 8.3557(8), b = 9.3519(8), c = 9.6103(9) Å, α = 96.094(5), β = 94.904(6), γ = 93.489(6)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text], and monoclinic, a = 11.6329(11), b = 17.1628, c = 7.6542(6) Å, β = 97.669(4)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. Crystals of (tropolonato)diphenylboron are monoclinic, a = 12.1596(5), b = 10.2614(4), c = 12.4883(6) Å, β = 100.965(2)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. All three structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R values of 0.046, 0.041, and 0.035 for 2465, 2124, and 1722 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. Each structure consists of discrete molecules containing tetrahedrally coordinated boron atoms, both the acetylacetonato and tropolonato moieties being delocalized and symmetric. The chelate rings in both forms of (acetylacetonato)-diphenylboron have distorted B-envelope conformations while the chelate ring in (tropolonato)diphenylboron is essentially planar. The mean B—O and B—C distances (corrected for libration) are: 1.543(4) and 1.605(4) Å in triclinic, 1.533(3) and 1.607(4) Å in monoclinic (acetylacetonato)diphenylboron, and 1.555(11) and 1.605(6) Å in (tropolonato)diphenylboron.
