Abstract

Aminohexahydro-closo-hexaborate(1–), Crystal Structure, 11B NMR Spectra, Vibrational Spectra By reduction of [B6H5(NO2)]2- with Fe2+ in aqueous alkaline solution [B6H6(NH2)]- is formed. The compound has been separated by extraction with dichloromethane in the presence of tetrabutylammoniumbromid and precipitated from the organic phase by adding CsCH3COO/C2H5OH. The Crystal structure of Cs[B6H6(NH2)] · H2O has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis; monoclinic space group C2 with a = 22.1075(14), b = 6.491(2), c = 5.9570(4) A, β = 100.168(6)°. The 11B NMR spectrum is consistent with a mono-hetero-substituted octahedral B6 cage with local C4v symmetry. The IR and Raman spectra exhibit characteristic N–H, B–H and B6 vibrations.
