Abstract
The crystal structures of five dibromobenzene derivatives, namely dibromoborylbenzene, C(6)H(5)BBr(2), (I), 1-dibromoboryl-4-(trimethylsilyl)benzene, C(9)H(13)BBr(2)Si, (II), 4-bromo-1-(dibromoboryl)benzene, C(6)H(4)BBr(3), (III), dibromo(dimethylamino)(phenyl)borane, C(8)H(12)BBr(2)N, (IV), and dibromo(dimethylsulfanyl)[4-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]borane, C(11)H(19)BBr(2)SSi, (V), have been determined. Compounds (I)-(IV) crystallize with one molecule in the asymmetric unit, but the molecule of (V) is located on a crystallographic mirror plane, implying twofold disorder of the central aromatic ring, the S atom and one of the methyl groups bonded to the S atom. In (I), (II) and (III), the B atom is three-coordinated, and in (IV) and (V) it is four-coordinated. The geometric parameters of the -BBr(2) group in these five structures agree well with those of comparable structures retrieved from the Cambridge Structural Database. The C-B and B-Br bond lengths in the molecules with a three-coordinated B atom are significantly shorter than those in the molecules with a four-coordinated B atom. In the compounds with a three-coordinated B atom, the -BBr(2) group tends to be coplanar with the aromatic ring to which it is attached.
