Abstract

By reaction of [B6H6]2- with N-(chloromethyl)phthalimide in dichloromethane the intermediate phthalimidomethylhexahydro-closo-hexaborate(1-), [B6H6(CH2(NC8O2H4)]-, is formed which with an excess of hydrazine reacts to give am inomethylhexahydro-closo-hexaborate(1-). The crystal structures of Cs[Bf,H6(CH2NH2)] and K[B6H6(CH2NH2)] have been determined by single crystal X -ray diffraction analysis. They are monoclinic, space group C2/m with a = 11.123(6), b = 6.8441(11), c = 12.810(7) Å, β = 124.032(5)° for Cs[B6H6(CH2NH2)] and with a = 10.767(2), b = 6.6255(6), c = 12.2648(14) Å, β = 123.880(10")° for K [B6H6(CH2NH2)]. The 11B NMR spectrum is consistent with a monohetero substituted octahedral B6 cage with local C4v symmetry. In the 13C NMR spectrum of Cs[B6H6(CH2NH2)] a quartet at 32.7 ppm with 1J(C,B) 65 Hz is observed. The IR and Ram an spectra exhibit characteristic CH, NH, BH and B6 vibrations
