This study details a novel di-aza-borinane molecule with a planar structure. The crystal packing reveals head-to-tail stacking supported by iodide ions, offering insights into heterocyclic compound organization.
Area of Science:
- * Inorganic Chemistry
- * Organic Chemistry
- * Crystallography
Background:
- * Di-aza-borinane compounds represent a class of nitrogen-boron heterocycles.
- * Understanding the structural and electronic properties of substituted heterocycles is crucial in materials science.
Purpose of the Study:
- * To characterize the structure of a novel di-aza-borinane compound (C17H17BN3I).
- * To investigate the crystal packing and intermolecular interactions within the solid state.
Main Methods:
- * Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was employed to determine the molecular and crystal structure.
- * Analysis of bond lengths, bond angles, and dihedral angles provided structural insights.
Main Results:
- * The title compound, C17H17BN3I, exhibits a planar di-aza-borinane core with specific substitutions.
- * A small dihedral angle (3.46°) between the pyridyl ring and the fused ring system indicates near-planarity.
- * Molecules are arranged in an alternating head-to-tail stack, stabilized by interactions with iodide ions.
Conclusions:
- * The synthesized di-aza-borinane possesses a well-defined planar structure.
- * Crystal packing is influenced by head-to-tail stacking and iodide ion interactions.
- * This structural characterization contributes to the understanding of heterocyclic compound assembly.
