A. Maderna et al., DONOR-STABILIZED TRISALKINYLBORANES - CRY STAL-STRUCTURE OF H5C5N-B(C-CH)(3) AND ELECTRONIC-STRUCTURE OF B(C-CH)(3), Zeitschrift fur Naturforschung. B, A journal of chemical sciences, 52(11), 1997, pp. 1315-1320
The synthesis and properties of donor-stabilized trisethinylborane com
pounds 1 - 3 (donor = pyridine, tetrahydrothiophene, tetrahydrofuran)
and of the tris(trimethylsilylethinyl)borane-diethylether adduct 4 are
reported. Attempts to obtain donor-free trisorganylethinylboranes hav
e failed. B-11 NMR data of 1 - 4 and the X-ray structure analysis of 1
and 3 reveal that the boron atoms are four-coordinated. The B-C bonds
in 1 are somewhat longer and the C=C bonds shorter than in diborylace
tylenes.
