Closo m-C2B10H12 can perform as a novel core of globular periphery-decorated macromolecules. To do this, a new class of di and tetrabranched m-carborane derivatives has been synthesized by a judicious choice of the synthetic procedure, starting with 9,10-I2-1,7-closo-C2B10H10. The 2a-NPA (sum of the natural charges of the two bonded atoms) value for a bond, which is defined as the sum of the NPA charges of the two bonded atoms, matches the order of electrophilic reaction at the different cluster bonds of the icosahedral o-and m- carboranes that lead to the formation of B-I bonds. As for m-carborane, most of the 2a-NPA values of B-H vertexes are positive, and their functionalization is more challenging. The synthesis and full characterization of dibranched 9,10-R2-1,7-closo-carborane (R = CH2CHCH2, HO(CH2)3, Cl(CH2)3, TsO(CH2)3, C6H5COO(CH2)3, C6H5COO(CH2)3, N3(CH2)3, CH3CHCH, and C6H5C2N3(CH2)3) compounds as well as the tetrabranched 9,10-R2-1,7-R2-closo-C2B10H8 (R = CH2CHCH2, HO(CH2)3) are presented. The X-ray diffraction of 9,10-(HO(CH2)3)2-1,7-closo-C2B10H10 and 9,10-(CH3CHCH)2-1,7-closo-C2B10H10, as well as their Hirshfeld surface analysis and decomposed fingerprint plots, are described. These new reported tetrabranched m-carborane derivatives provide a sort of novel core for the synthesis of 3D radially grown periphery-decorated macromolecules that are different to the 2D radially grown core of the tetrabranched o-carborane framework.

In this manuscript, the synthesis and single crystal X-ray diffraction characterization of four N-substituted 1,3,5-triazinanes are reported along with a detailed analysis of the noncovalent interactions observed in the solid state architecture to these compounds, focusing on C–H···π and C–H···O H-bonding interactions. These noncovalent contacts have been characterized energetically by using DFT calculations and also by Hirshfeld surface analysis. In addition, the supramolecular assemblies have been characterized using the quantum theory of “atoms-in-molecules” (QTAIM) and molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) calculations. The XRD analysis revealed a never before observed feature of the crystalline structure of some molecules: symmetrically substituted 1,3,5-triazacyclohexanes possess two chemically identical sulfonamide nitrogen atoms in different sp2 and sp3-hybridizations.

A straightforward method for the preparation of trisphosphinite ligands in one step, using only commercially available reagents (1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane and chlorophosphines) is described. We have made use of this approach to prepare a small family of four trisphosphinite ligands of formula [CH3C{(C6H4OR2)3], where R stands for Ph (1a), Xyl (1b, Xyl = 2,6-Me2-C6H3), iPr (1c), and Cy (1d). These polyfunctional phosphinites allowed us to investigate their coordination chemistry towards a range of late transition metal precursors. As such, we report here the isolation and full characterization of a number of Au(I), Ag(I), Cu(I), Ir(III), Rh(III) and Ru(II) homotrimetallic complexes, including the structural characterization by X-ray diffraction studies of six of these compounds. We have observed that the flexibility of these trisphosphinites enables a variety of conformations for the different trimetallic species.
