The title compound 2 crystallizes monoclinic, and the space group was determined to be C 2/c. The unit cell contains 16 molecules grouped in two sets of crystallographic independent molecules. The structure was solved by direct methods. Full matrix refinement led to R = 0.09. The molecules have C2 symmetry. The compound is composed of two five membered diazaborolidine rings joined by a boron-boron bond. The two nearly planar rings are twisted to one another by 61.6° and 56.8° respectively

Crystals of the title compound are monoclinic, a = 15.539(4), b = 9.061(1), c = 16.707(6) Å, β = 107.19(5)°, Z = 4, space group P21/c. The measured and calculated densities are 1.19 and 1.180(1) g cm−3, respectively. The structure was determined by direct methods and refined by electron-density and full-matrix least-squares procedures to R = 0.047 for 2503 observed reflections. The six-membered phosphazene ring is slightly, but significantly, non-planar, the conformation being that of a distorted boat. The molecule has approximate D3 symmetry. The ring P—N bonds are all equal, mean P—N = 1.588(3) Å, and the relatively short exocyclic P—N bonds, mean 1.652(4) Å, indicate the presence of exocyclic π-bonding in the molecule. The N—C bonds range from 1.417(7) to 1.471(5) with a mean of 1.45(2) Å. The mean endocyclic N—P—N and P—N—P angles are 116.7(4) and 123.0(4)°, respectively, while the exocyclic N—P—N angles average 101.5(8)°.

The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system with dimensions of the unit cell a = 14.09(2), b = 8.60(1), c = 11.34(1) Å and β = 101.7°. The space group was determined to be A 2/a with four molecules in the unit cell. The structure was solved by direct methods, and all hydrogen atoms were located. Full matrix refinement led to R = 0.059. The B2N4 six membered ring is nonplanar as expected for an 8π electron heterocycle. The molecule possesses C2 symmetry but the ring itself is near the D2 symmetry as derived from earlier CNDO/S-calculations. The BN bond lengths are 1.43 A, the NN distances 1.43 Å and the average CN distances 1.44 A. The boron atoms and four of the six nitrogen atoms are trigonal-planarly coordinated while the remaining two N-atoms (N1,N2) deviate little, but significantly, from sp2 hybridisation. The structure of the molecule can be interpreted as the best compromise between ΒΝ-π-bonding, nonbonding repulsion between adjacent CH3 groups, and the interaction between neighbouring ‘free pairs of electrons’ of the ring N-N-units.

The unit cell contains two independent centrosymmetric molecules which are virtually identical. The 12-membered rings have the 'double tub' conformation. Bond lengths not involving hydrogen have been corrected for libration. Weighted mean bond lengths (rms deviations from the mean in parentheses) are: P—N, 1.593(6), C—P, 1.808(4), and C—H, 0.95(6) Å.

Both molecules have structures similar to related compounds and feature intermolecular N—H … O hydrogen bonds (N … O = 2.982(2) for 1c and 2.896(2) Å for 1a). Bond lengths are: for 1c; O—C, 1.413(3), O—B, 1.478(3), N—C, 1.488(3), N—B, 1.657(3), C(sp3)—C(sp3), 1.501(4), B—C, 1.616(3) and 1.623(3), mean C—C(ar), 1.395, N—H, 0.93(2) and 0.94(2), mean C(sp3)—H, 1.00, and mean C(ar)—H, 1.00 Å; for 1a; O—C, 1.409(2), O—B, 1.476(2), N—C, 1.489(2), N—B, 1.655(2), C(sp3)—C(sp3), 1.507(3), B—C, 1.613(2) and 1.620(2), mean C—C(ar), 1.391, N—H, 0.93(2) and 0.92(2), mean C(sp3)—H, 1.00, and mean C(ar)—H, 0.98 Å. A statistical analysis of the phenyl C—C distances in compounds 1a, 1b, and 1c has provided an example of statistically significant substituent-induced bond length variation in the phenyl rings.

The reaction of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine with phenylboronic acid leads to the product 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-diphenyl-2,4,6-trioxa-7-aza-1-azonia-3-bora-5-boratabicyclo[3.3.0]octane rather than the expected product 1,5-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1,5-diaza-2,4-dioxa-3-boracyclohexane. The structure of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine has been determined and is discussed in terms of its reaction with PhB(OH)2. Crystals of N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine are tetragonal, a = 8.5346(3), c = 8.4178(7) Å, Z = 4, space group P421c. The structure was solved by direct methods and was refined by full-matrix least-squares procedures to a final R of 0.036 and Rw of 0.038 for 333 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The structure consists of hydrogen-bonded dimers having exact [Formula: see text] symmetry. Keywords: N,N′-dihydroxy-N,N′-dimethylmethanediamine, crystal structure.

The benzoquinone ring in the centrosymmetric molecule is slightly, but significantly, nonplanar. Bond distances in the compound (C—C, 1.247 (2) and 1.410 (3), C—N, 1.332 (3) and 1.457 (3), C—C, 1.384–1.514 (3), N—H, 0.89 (3), O—H, 1.07 (5), and C—H, 0.95–1.09 (3) Å) are similar to those in related compounds. The structure features an extensive network of N—H … O (N … O = 2.639 (3) and 3.033 (2) Å) and O—H … O(O … O = 2.757 (3) Å ) hydrogen bonds.

Crystals of the title compound, C18H20Cl2N2O4, are monoclinic, a 14.706(1), b 17.168(1), c 7.269(1) Ǻ, β 92.72(1)°, space group P21/c with Z = 4. The structure was solved from diffractometer data by direct methods. Block-diagonal least-squares refinement converged at R 0.037, Rw 0.045 for 2103 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I) which had been corrected for absorption (μ 34.0 cm-1). The asymmetric unit is comprised of two independent half-molecules, each molecule being centrosymmetric. The pyridine rings are distorted from planarity, with a maximum deviation of 0.10 Ǻ at the nitrogen atoms, as a consequence of the short intramolecular N...N contacts of 2.476(4) and 2.473(5) Ǻ.
