Reinvestigation of KMg(1/3)Nb(2/3)OPO(4)
Abstract:
The crystal structure of potassium magnesium niobium oxide phosphate, KMg(1/3)Nb(2/3)OPO(4), which was described in the space group P4(3)22 [McCarron & Calabrese, (1993 ▶). J. Solid State Chem.102, 354-361], has been redetermined in the revised space group P4(1). Accordingly, the assignment of the space group P4(3)22 and, therefore, localization of K at a single half-occupied position, as noted in the previous study, proved to be an artifact. As a consequence, two major and two minor positions of K are observed due to the splitting along [001], as first noted for KTiOPO(4) structure analogues. It has been shown that the geometry of the {M(II) (1/3)Nb(2/3)O(6/2)}(∞) framework is almost unaffected by the lowering of symmetry.

Regioselectivity and Stereochemistry of Hydroboration
Hydroboration proceeds in a concerted fashion with the attack of borane on the π bond, giving a cyclic four-centered transition state. The –BH2 group is bonded to the less substituted carbon and –H to the more substituted carbon. The concerted nature requires the simultaneous addition of –H and –BH2 across the same face of the alkene giving syn stereochemistry.
