Crystals of the 3,5-dimethylpyrazolylgallium dimethyl dimer [Me2Ga·N2C5H7]2 (1a) are monoclinic, a = 8.660(3), b = 13.776(1), c = 8.443(2) Å, β = 112.45(2)°, Z = 2, space group P21/c, and crystals of the hydroxy-bridged species [Me2Ga(OH)(N2C5H7)GaMe2·2N2C5H8] (1b) are monoclinic, a = 28.778(3), b = 9.098(3), c = 20.222(2) Å, β = 100.72(1)°, Z = 8, space group C2/c. Both structures were solved by Patterson and Fourier methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares methods to final R values of 0.071 and 0.045 for 1443 and 2746 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. Molecules of 1a lie on crystallographic centers of symmetry, the central Ga—(N—N)2—Ga ring being almost planar as a result of steric interactions between gallium-methyl groups and those on the 'pyrazolyl' rings. The mean Ga—N and Ga—C distances are 1.993 Å and 1.962 Å respectively. Compound 1b was formed by the attack of moisture on the strained dimer 1a. The central feature is a five-membered Ga2N2O ring, with two 3,5-dimethylpyrazoie molecules hydrogen-bonded to it (N—H … O, O—H … N, 2.851 and 2.892 Å) and to each other (N—H … N, 2.907 Å). The five-membered ring adopts a slightly distorted envelope conformation, the angle between the Ga2N2 and N2O moieties being 13.9°. The mean Ga—N and Ga—O distances are 1.989 and 1.934 Å respectively.

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.

Crystals of the N,N-dimethylethanolaminogallane dimer 1a are monoclinic, a = 8.540(1), b = 7.0433(7), c = 12.227(6) Å, β = 92.94(3)°, Z = 2, space group P21/c and crystals of the N,N-dimethylethanolaminogallium dimethyl dimer 1b are orthorhombic, a = 15.608(3), b = 11.655(2), c = 10.266(2) Å, Z = 4, space group Pccn. Both structures were determined by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R values of 0.039 and 0.053 for 1062 and 1155 reflections with 1 ≥ 3σ(I) respectively. Both structures feature well-separated centrosymmetric dimeric units occurring via the formation of four-membered Ga2O2 rings. The five-coordinate gallium atoms have distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry. Steric interactions between methyl groups in 1b are believed responsible for the lengthening of the axial Ga—N distance from 2.279(3) in 1a to 2.471(4) Å in 1b. Other bond distances are: for 1a; Ga—O (axial), 2.053(3), Ga—O, 1.911(3), Ga—H, 1.50(7) and 1.73(5), O—C, 1.369(5), N—C, 1.466 – 1.485(6), C—C, 1.512(7), and mean C—H, 1.05; for 1b; Ga—O (axial), 2.078(3), Ga—O, 1.913(3), Ga—C, 1.936(6) and 1.948(7), O—C, 1.382(7), N—C, 1.452–1.482(7−8), C—C, 1.516(9), and mean C—H, 1.01 Å.

Crystals of 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethyl-6-methylamino-1,3,5-triaza-2,4,6,8(PV)-tetraphosphorin are monoclinic, a = 11.639(4), b = 11.957(7), c = 12.114(4) Å, β = 94.07(2) °, Z = 4, space group P21/n. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.032 and Rw of 0.041 for 2012 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). Crystals of 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethyl-6-methylamino-7-benzoyl-1,3,5-triaza-2,4,6,8(PV)-tetraphosphorin are triclinic, a = 15.513(1), b = 8.422(1), c = 8.933(1) Å, α = 89.24(1), β = 100.18(1), γ = 107.30(1) °, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]. The structure was solved by Patterson and Fourier syntheses and was refined to a final R of 0.041 and Rw of 0.044 for 3654 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The eight-membered P4N3C rings in both structures hâve 'tub' conformations. The mean bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: P—N(endo), 1.609(9), P—N(exo), 1.679(2), P—C(endo), 1.717(2), and P—C(exo), 1.815(8) Å for Me7(MeNH)P4N3CH and 1.595(4), 1.655(2), 1.763(4), and 1.804(5) Å respectively for Me7(MeNH)P4N3CC(O)Ph. The near-equivalence of the endocyclic P—N bond lengths in the azaphosphorins is discussed in terms of opposing changes in the in-plane and out-of-plane Π-systems.

Details of the synthesis, physical properties, and molecular structures of 4,4-dimethyl-2,5,5-triphenyl-1,3-dioxa-4-azonia-2-bora-5-boratacyclopentane, 4, and 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-4-azonia-2-boratacyclopentane, 5, are reported. Crystals of 4 are triclinic, a = 9.841(2), b = 14.722(3), c = 6.6701(12) Å, α = 86.79(1), β = 102.95(1), γ = 93.89(1)°, Z = 2, space group [Formula: see text]; and those of 5 are monoclinic, a = 14.9164(12), b = 6.4732(3), c = 18.2248(15) Å, β = 117.263(3)°, Z = 4, space group Cc. Both structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R values of 0.032 and 0.035 for 1456 and 1649 observed reflections, respectively. Molecules of 4 contain non-planar BOBON rings with an unusually long N(sp3)—B(sp3) distance of 1.728(3) Å and in 5 there is a long N(sp3)—C(sp3) bond of 1.591(3) Å. These structural features are ascribed to steric hindrance.

The crystal structures of 2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-3a-azonia-2-borataindan, 6a, and 4-cyclohexyl-6-methyl-2,2-diphenyl-1,3-dioxa-3a-azonia-2-borataindan, 6b, reported here represent the first crystallographic examples of coordination complexes of the anionic ligand derived from 2-hydroxypyridine N-oxide. Crystals of 6a are monoclinic, a = 11.5210(13), b = 10.2860(8), c = 12.7354(15) Å, β = 101.878(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c; and those of 6b are monoclinic, a = 8.5047(8), b = 15.6603(14), c = 16.0501(18) Å, β = 104.776(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. Both structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R values of 0.039 and 0.042 for 1440 and 1750 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. Both molecules feature tetrahedrally coordinated boron atoms incorporated into five-membered OBOCN chelate rings which have B-envelope conformations. The observed molecular geometries indicate that the ligand may be classed as a hybrid of the 2-hydroxypyridine N-oxide and 1-hydroxy-2-pyridinone tautomers of the parent alcohol. Important bond lengths (corrected for libration) are: O—B = 1.557(3)−1.580(3), mean C—B = 1.600(4), C—O = 1.316(3), and N—O = 1.389(3) Å.

Crystals of 3-(phenylmethylidene)-4-methyl-1-phenyl-2,6,7-trioxa-3-azonia-1-boratabicyclo[2.2.2]octane are orthorhombic, a = 8.0732(7), b = 11.8499(10), c = 31.679(2) Å, Z = 8, space group Pbca, and those of N-(4-nitrophenylmethylidene)-5-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxa-2-bora-5-cyclohexaneamine N-oxide are monoclinic, a = 6.1873(6), b = 23.206(2), c = 11.3081(11) Å, β = 92.326(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/n. Both structures were solved by direct methods and were refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to final R values of 0.041 and 0.036 for 943 and 1679 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I), respectively. Both compounds are condensation products of bis(hydroxyalkyl)nitrones and phenylboronic acid. 3-(Phenyl-methylidene)-4-methyl-1-phenyl-2,6,7-trioxa-3-azonia-1-boratabicyclo[2.2.2]octane was found to possess a bicyclic structure resulting from intramolecular O → B coordination (O—B = 1.604(7) Å) and is the first such bicyclic boron compound to be structurally characterized. In N-(4-nitrophenylmethylidene)-5-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxa-2-bora-5-cyclohexaneamine N-oxide, which has weakened nitrone basicity, the O → B interaction does not occur, resulting in a monocyclic system incorporating a trigonal planar boron atom.
