Abstract
Complexation studies of eleven N-heteroaromatic cations with tetraphenylborate are reported. Tetraphenylborate forms complexes with five cations and reacts to form Lewis-base boranes with six cations. The complexes and the displacement reaction products were characterised by 1H NMR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and crystallographic methods. In the complexes C–Hπ or N–Hπ hydrogen bonds are the principal intermolecular interactions. The stability constants for the complexes are determined by 1H NMR titration in acetonitrile–methanol (1 ∶ 1) solution. Crystal structures of four of the complexes and three of the Lewis-base triphenylborane products are reported.
