Thermolysis of [8,8-(PMe2Ph)2-nido-8,7-PtCB9H11] in boiling toluene solution results in an elimination of the platinum centre and cluster closure to give the ten-vertex closo species [6-(PMe2Ph)-closo-1-CB9H9] in 85% yield as a colourles air stable solid. The product is characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals (from hexane-dichloromethane) are monoclinic, space group P21/c, with a = 903.20(9), b = 1 481.86(11), c = 2 320.0(2) pm, β = 97.860(7)° and Z = 8, and the structure has been refined to R(Rw) = 0.045(0.051) for 3 281 observed reflections with Fo > 2.0σ(Fo). The clean high-yield elimination of a metal centre from a polyhedral metallaborane or metallaheteroborane species is very rare.

The reaction of the ten-vertex nido anions [6,9-C2B8H10]2-, [6-Me-6,9-C2B8H9]2- and [6-Ph-6,9-C2B8H9]2- with [cis-PtCl2(PMe2Ph)2] in CH2Cl2 yields the yellow crystalline closo-structured eleven-vertex compounds [2-X-1,1-(PMe2Ph)2-1,2,3-PtC2B8H9], where X = H (compound 1), Me (compound 2), or Ph (compound 3) in yields of 58 88%. These compounds have been characterized by multielement NMR spectroscopy and, in the case of compounds 1 and 2, by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystals of compound 1 were monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a = 947.6(1), b = 1 547.7(3), c = 1 804.0(3) pm, β = 104.78(1)°, and Z = 4, solved and refined to R (Rw) = 0.0216 (0.0234) with 4 200 unique reflections I > 2.0 σ(I). Crystals of compound 2 were monoclinic, space group I2/a (= C2/c), with a = 1 824.8(2), b = 1 016.8(2), c = 1 328.2(3) pm, β = 101.48(2)°, and Z = 4, solved and refined to R (Rw) = 0.0442 (0.0474) with 2 057 unique reflections I > 2.0 σ(I). The NMR and X-ray results reveal that the closed eleven-vertex compounds [2-X-1,1-(PR3)2-1,2,3-PtC2B8H9] exhibit a previously unsuspected but very free contrarotational fluxionality within the constrains of their η6-carborane-to-metal bonding that is accompanied by a marked flexing of the η6-{C2B8H9X} moiety between nido and arachno ten-vertex geometries and electronic characteristics. The structural and bonding implications are discussed and elucidated specifically with reference to the NMR and geometrical charcteristics of [closo-2,3- C2B9H11], [arachno-6,9- C2B8H14] and the [nido-6-X-6,9- C2B8H9]2- anions, together with other pertinent species such as [μ-6,9-(SnMe2)-nido-6,9-C2B8H10] and more generally with reference to other eleven-vertex metallaheteroborano species. The general behaviour patterns thus established are summarized.

By reacting [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}2(µ,η1:1-P4)] (1) with in situ generated phosphenium ions [Ph2P][A] ([A]− = [OTf]− = [O3SCF3]−, [PF6]−), a mixture of two main products of the composition [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}2(µ,η1:1-P5(C6H5)2)][PF6] (2a and 3a) could be identified by extensive 31P NMR spectroscopic studies at 193 K. Compound 3a was also characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis, showing the rarely observed bicyclo[2.1.0]pentaphosphapentane unit. At room temperature, the novel compound [{Cp‴Fe}(µ,η4:1-P5Ph2){Cp‴(CO)2Fe}][PF6] (4) is formed by decarbonylation. Reacting 1 with in situ generated diphenyl arsenium ions gives short-lived intermediates at 193 K which disproportionate at room temperature into tetraphenyldiarsine and [{Cp‴Fe(CO)2}4(µ4,η1:1:1:1-P8)][OTf]2 (5) containing a tetracyclo[3.3.0.02,7.03,6]octaphosphaoctane ligand.

The reactions of electron-rich organosilicon compounds 1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene (1), 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,4-diaza-2,5-cyclohexadiene (2), and 1,1′-bis(trimethylsilyl)-1,1′-dihydro-4,4′-bipyridine (12) with B-amino and B-aryl dihaloboranes afforded a series of novel B=N-bond-containing compounds 3–11 and 13. The B=N rotational barriers of 7 (>71.56 kJ/mol), 10 (58.79 kJ/mol), and 13 (58.65 kJ/mol) were determined by variable-temperature 1H-NMR spectroscopy, thus reflecting different degrees of B=N double bond character in the corresponding compounds. In addition, ring external olefin isomers 11 were obtained by a reaction between 2 and DurBBr2. All obtained B=N-containing products were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy. Compounds 5, 9, 10a, 11, and 13a were also characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

N,N′-Tetramethyl-N"-benzoylphosphoryltriamide (I) and dimorpholido-N-benzoylphosphorylamide (II), and their sodium salts Nal, Nall were synthesized and characterized by means of IR and 1H, 31P NMR spectroscopy. The structures of I, II were determined by X-ray diffraction: I monoclinic, space group P2i/c with a = 10.162(3), b= 11.469(4), c = 12.286(4) Å , β = 94.04°, V = 1428.4(8) A 3, Z = 4, p(calcd) = 1.187 g/cm3; II monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 15.503(4), b = 10.991(3), c = 22.000(6) Å, β = 106.39°, V = 3596.3(17) Å3, Z = 8, p(calcd.) = 1.253 g/cm3. The refinement of the structures converged at R = 0.0425 for I, and R = 0.068 for II. In both structures the molecules are connected into centrosymmetric dimers via hydrogen bonds formed by the phosphorylic oxygen atoms and hydrogen atoms of amide groups.

The novel polyphosphide EuP7 was prepared under controlled conditions by the reaction of the elements in salt melts at 750-800 K. EuP7 forms black prismatic crystals not attacked by diluted mineral acids and bases. The thermal decomposition yields EuP3 at 700 K and in further steps EuP2, Eu3P4 and EuP, respectively. According to the crystal structure as well as the electrical, optical and magnetic properties EuP7 is a semiconductor (EG = 0.9 eV; EG (vert) = 1.1 eV) with divalent europium (μ = 7.55 B.M.). The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 1148.8(7) pm, b = 570.0(3) pm, c = 1061.0(6) pm, and β= 106.08°(5); (X-ray diffraction data; 1479 hkl, R = 0.031). The P-atoms are connected (P-P) = 218.0-223.5 pm) to a 2-dimensional infinite polyanionic structure with homonuclear 3-bonded and 2-bonded P-atoms in the ratio 5:2. The polyanionic network contains P6-rings (chair conformation) as well as P8-rings and P10-rings. The Eu-atoms are bonded to 9 P-atoms (1,4,4-polyhedra) with bond distances ranging from 306.6 to 326.6 pm. The Eu-atoms complete the tetrahedral environment of the P-atoms

The reaction of lithiated Ph(H)PCH2P(H)Ph with (ClCH2)2PPh yields 1,3,5-Triphenyl-1,3,5- triphosphorinane (1) as a mixture of two isomers. The isomers have been separated by column chromatography and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction as the eq-eq-eq (1a) and eq-eq-ax-isomers (1b). (1a) crystallizes with a = 1326.9(3) pm and c = 933.4(3) pm in the rhombohedral space group R3 and displays 3-fold symmetry, showing an eq-eq-eq conformation. (1b) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 984.09(12) pm, b = 1757.5(2) pm, c = 1083.13(12) pm, β = 93.329(2)° and displays an ax-eq-eq conformation.

The aluminium complexes {[κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]AlMe2}2 (2), [κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]2AlMe (3), and [κ2-N,O-(t-BuNCOPh)]3Al (4) were prepared through the protonolysis reaction between trimethylaluminium and one, two, or three equivalents, respectively, of N-tert-butylbenzamide. Complex 2 was also prepared via a salt metathesis reaction between K(t-BuNCOPh) and dimethylaluminium chloride. Complexes 2–4 were characterized using 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of the complexes corroborated ligand : metal stoichiometries and revealed that all the amidate ligands coordinate to the aluminium ion in a κ2 fashion. The Al–amidate complexes 2–4 were viable catalyst precursors for the Meerwein–Ponndorf–Verley–Oppenauer reduction–oxidation manifold, successfully interconverting several classes of carbonyl and alcohol substrates.
