Boron Chelates and Boron-Metal Chelates, X [1]. 3-(2-Hydroxyphenyl)-2,2-diphenyl-1-oxa-3-azonia-2-borata-naphthalene-methanol (1/1): Synthesis, Spectroscopic Investigations and Crystal Structure

Abstract

The title compound, C25H20BNO2 · CH3OH, was examined by UV, IR, 1H, and 13C NMK spectroscopy as well as by thermogravimetry and X-ray structure analysis (Pbnb, a = 8.815, b = 17.309, c=28.992 Å, R= 5.5%). These investigations show the six-membered chelate ring (chelate A) to exist as formulated in [2] and not as a five-membered chelate ring B. One methanol molecule connects two chelate molecules by hydrogen bonds, resulting in an overall ratio of chelate to methanol of 1 : 1.
