Abstract
Crystals of 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane are triclinic, a = 10.559(2), b = 15.156(3), c = 10.338(2) Å, α = 99.14(1), β = 89.90(1), γ = 96.73(1)°, Z = 4, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.032 and Rw = 0.038 for 2396 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of two crystallographically independent, but virtually identical, molecules containing sterically lengthened N—B coordinative bonds (mean 1.740(3) Å). The structurally inequivalent (in the solid state) pairs of N-methyl and B-phenyl groups are observed by variable temperature 1H nmr to be magnetically equivalent in solution, implying a rapid interconversion of "valence tautomers" at temperatures down to −60 °C.
