Abstract

Abstract By reaction of [B6H6]2- with a solution of (SCN)2 in dichloromethane in the presence of solid KOH the hexaisothiocyanatodiborate anion [B2(NCS)6]2- is formed and can be isolated by fractionated crystallization. The crystal structure of (PNP)2[B2(NCS)6] has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis; triclinic space group P1̄ with a=12,282(5), b=12,416(5), c=14,155(5)Å, a=68,36(5), β=70,59(5), γ=80,93(5)°.The [B2(NCS)6]2- anion reveals a staggered conformation with nearly local D3d symmetry and a B-B bond length of 1,73(2) Å. Using the crystallographic data a normal coordinate analysis has been performed. With a set of 12 force constants (e.g. fd(BB)=3,62, fd(BN)=4,21 mdyn/Å) a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies for the 10B and 11B isotopomers has been achieved. The potential energy distribution on the force constants reveals strong vibrational couplings within the B2N6 framework.
