An extremely bulky secondary amine, HN(Ar†)(SiPr3i) HL† (Ar† = C6H2{C(H)Ph2}2Pri−2,6,4) has been synthesised and deprotonated with KH in toluene, to afford the potassium amide [KL†(η6-toluene)], which was structurally authenticated. Reaction of this with BBr3 and AlBr3, reproducibly gave the crystallographically characterised amido bromo-borane, [L†B(H)Br], and aluminacycle, [AlBr2{κ2-C,N-N(H)(SiPr3i){C6H2[CPh2][C(H)Ph2]Pri-2,6,4}}], respectively, via ligand C–H activation processes. The known secondary amines, HN(Dip)(Mes) (HLMes) and HN(Dip)(Trip) (HLTrip) (Dip =2,6-diisopropylphenyl, Mes = mesityl, Trip = 2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl), have been structurally characterised, and deprotonated to give the in situ generated lithium amides, [Li(LMes)] and [Li(LTrip)]. Reaction of these with BBr3 and AlBr3 has given the amido group 13 element halide complexes, [LMesBBr2] and [LAlBr2(THF)] (L = LMes or LTrip), the crystal structures of all of which have been determined. Synthetic routes to two new bulky amidine pro-ligands, ArN = C(But)-N(H)Ar, Ar = C6H2{C(H)Ph2}2Me-2,6,4 (Piso*H) or C6H2Pr2i(CPh3)-2,6,4 (Piso″H), have been developed, and the compounds crystallographically characterised. Deprotonation of Piso″H gave the potassium amidinate, [K(Piso″)], which was reacted with BBr3 to give [(Piso″)BBr2]. Reaction of Piso″H with AlMe3 afforded [(Piso″)AlMe2], which, when treated with I2 yielded [(Piso″)AlI2], the crystal structure of which was determined. Reductions of all of the prepared amido and amidinato group 13 element(iii) halide complexes were attempted using a variety of reducing reagents, with a view to prepare boron(i) or aluminium(i) complexes. While these were not successful, this study does offer synthetic inorganic chemists a variety of new very bulky anionic N-donor ligands, and boron/aluminium halide complexes thereof, for use in their own research.

Each central platinum(II) atom in the crystal structures of chlorido[dihydroxybis(1-iminoethoxy)arsanido-κ3 N,As,N′]platinum(II), [Pt(C4H10AsN2O4)Cl] (1), and of chlorido[dihydroxybis(1-iminopropoxy)arsanido-κ3 N,As,N′]platinum(II), [Pt(C6H14AsN2O4)Cl] (2), is coordinated by two nitrogen donor atoms, a chlorido ligand and to arsenic, which, in turn, is coordinated by two oxygen donor ligands, two hydroxyl ligands and the platinum(II) atom. The square-planar and trigonal–bipyramidal coordination environments around platinum and arsenic, respectively, are significantly distorted with the largest outliers being 173.90 (13) and 106.98 (14)° for platinum and arsenic in (1), and 173.20 (14)° and 94.20 (9)° for (2), respectively. One intramolecular and four classical intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions are observed in the crystal structure of (1), which give rise to an infinite three-dimensional network. A similar situation (one intramolecular and four classical intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions) is observed in the crystal structure of (2). Various π-interactions are present in (1) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.7225 (7) Å, and between the centroids of five-membered (Pt, As, C, N, O) rings of neighbouring molecules with distances of 3.7456 (4) and 3.7960 (6) Å. Likewise, weak π-interactions are observed in (2) between the platinum(II) atom and the centroid of one of the five-membered rings formed by Pt, As, C, N, O with a distance of 3.8213 (2) Å, as well as between the Cl atom and the centroid of a symmetry-related five-membered ring with a distance of 3.8252 (12) Å. Differences between (2) and the reported polymorph [Miodragović et al. (2013). Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 52, 10749–10752] are discussed.

The title compounds, C19H21F3O2S and C24H19F3OS, were prepared via chemo- and regioselective [3 + 2]-cycloadditions of the respective thiocarbonyl ylides (thiocarbonyl S-methanides), generated in situ, with (E)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenylbut-2-en-1-one. The thiophene ring in the crystal structure of each compound has an envelope conformation. The largest differences between the two molecular structures is in the bond lengths about the quaternary C atom of the thiophene ring; in the spirocyclic structure, the C—C bonds to the spiro C atom in the cyclobutane ring are around 1.60 Å, although this is also observed in related structures. In the same structure, weak intermolecular C—H...X (X = S, O) interactions link the molecules into extended ribbons running parallel to the [001] direction. In the other structure, weak C—H...π interactions link the molecules into sheets parallel to the (010) plane.

Investigations of the mono- and dicycloaddition reactions of [SNS][MF6] (M = As, Sb) with the dinitriles NCC(O)CN and NCC(Cl)2CN — Energetics and the preference for [SNS]+ dicycloaddition products in solution and solid state

The stepwise symmetry-allowed cycloaddition reactions of [SNS]+ with the dinitriles NC–X–CN (X = CCl2, CO) were investigated. The reaction of [SNS]+ and dinitrile in 2:1 ratio yielded the dicycloaddition product quantitatively after 2 weeks (in situ 13C NMR). At a 1:1 ratio, mixtures of mono- and dicycloaddition products were obtained that could not be completely separated from one another. The energetics of the reaction were estimated in the gas phase, in solution (SO2 and CH2Cl2), and solid phases using DFT calculations (PBE0/6-311G*) and a "volume-based thermodynamics" approach for lattice enthalpies. Monocycloaddition products are stable in the gas phase and in solution with respect to disproportionation reactions, but in the solid state the disproportionation of 2 [NC–X–(CNSNS)][AsF6] into [X(CNSNS)2][AsF6]2 and NC–X–CN is strongly favored because of the higher lattice enthalpy of the 1:2 salt. In the gas phase, the second cycloaddition is endothermic because of the charge repulsion of the two positive charges, but in the solid state the reaction is strongly favored because of the lattice enthalpy gain on the formation of the 1:2 ([X(CNSNS)2][AsF6]2) from two 1:1 salts ([NC–X–(CNSNS)][AsF6] and [SNS][MF6]). The crystal structures of the dicycloaddition products [Cl2C(CNSNS)2][AsF6]2 and [OC(CNSNS)2][AsF6]2 and the monocycloaddition product [Cl2C(CNSNS)CN][AsF6] were obtained. In [Cl2C(CNSNS)CN][AsF6], the free nitrile groups interact with neighboring heterocycles further demonstrating that potential of free nitrile groups for introducing intermolecular interactions. [OC(CNSNS)2]2+ is a planar dication, which adopts the conformation with Sδ+···Oδ– contacts to optimize intramolecular electrostatic interactions.Key words: crystal structure, sulfur-nitrogen, 1,3,2,4-dithiadiazolyium, nitriles, cycloaddition, DFT calculations, thermodynamics, energetics.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.
