Crystal Structure of Tertiarybutyl Ammonium Bis[(naphthalene-2,3-diolato)borate] Dimethyl Sulfoxide Solvate

Abstract

The structure of tertiarybutyl ammonium bis[naphthalene-2,3-diolato)borate] dimethyl sulfoxide solvate was determined by X-Ray crystallography. The compound crystallized in a triclinic system, and was characterized to be in the space group P-1, with cell parameters a = 9.6282(9)angstrom, b = 11.0221(9)angstrom, c = 13.0273(12)angstrom, alpha = 91.050(4)(0), beta = 109.419(4)(0), gamma = 94.574(2)(0), Z = 2, and V = 1298.2(2)angstrom(3). The crystal packing is governed by intermolecular and intramolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds. The B atom takes a distorted tetrahedral geometry with four O atoms of naphthalene-2,3-diolato ligands.
