The title compound, C27H38ClN2+·C32H12BF24-, was synthesized by reacting the product formed from a previous reaction between 1,3-bis-(2,6-diiso-propyl-phen-yl)imidazolinium-2-carboxyl-ate (SIPrCO2), and SOCl2, with sodium tetra-kis-[3,5-bis-(tri-fluoro-meth-yl)phen-yl]borate (NaBARF). In the cation, the imidazole ring is in a half-chair conformation and the formerly carbene carbon atom is bonde...

In the crystal structure of the title molecular salt, C(13)H(30)N(5)O(+)·C(24)H(20)B(-), discrete guanidinium cations and tetra-phenyl-borate anions are present.

In the cation of the title salt, C4H10NO(+)·C24H20B(-)·C2H3N, the C-N bond lengths are 1.2864 (16), 1.4651 (17) and 1.4686 (16) Å, indicating double- and single-bond character, respectively. The C-O bond length of 1.2978 (15) Å shows double-bond character, pointing towards charge delocalization within the NCO plane of the iminium ion. C-H⋯π inter-actions are present between the methine H atom a...

In the mononuclear title complex, [Zn(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)](C(24)H(20)B)(2)·C(2)H(6)OS, the Zn(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms of two bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine mol-ecules and by the O atoms of two cis-disposed dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The S atom and the methyl groups of one of the coordinated dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecules are disorder...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[AgL]·BF4·0.5CH3OH} n , L = N-(pyridin-4-ylmeth-yl)pyridine-3-amine, C11H11N3, contains one Ag(I) ion, one ligand L, one tetra-fluorido-borate anion disordered over two orientations in a 0.669 (13):0.331 (13) ratio and one half of a methanol solvent mol-ecule situated on an inversion center. Each Ag(I) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from two L liga...

The bidentate 1,3,4-thia-diazole ligand substituted by two 2-pyridyl rings (denoted L) has been found to produce the new monomeric title complex, [Co(C(12)H(8)N(4)S)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](BF(4))(2). The thia-diazole and pyridyl rings surrounding the Co atom are almost coplanar [dihedral angle = 4.35 (7)°]. The mean plane defined by these heterocyclic moieties makes a dihedral angle of 18.72 (6)° with t...

The synthesis and characterisation of three palladium complexes, involved in the homogeneous catalysis towards the CO-olefins coand ter-polymerisation reactions, are reported. The Pd (dpk·CH3OH) (CF3CO2)2 (1), (dpk = di(2-pyridyl) ketone) and Pd (dppp)(bipy) B(C6F5)4 2 (2), (bipy = 2,2’-bipyridine, dppp = 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane) compounds are examples of a neutral complex and of a di...

The title compound, C(12)H(20)N(4) (2+)·2BF(4) (-), was prepared by the anion exchange of a dibromide ionic liquid with sodium tetra-fluoro-borate. The asymmetric unit contains one half of the imidazolium cation, which lies about an inversion centre at the mid-point of the central C-C bond of the linking butyl chain. The two planar imidazole rings (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0013 Å) are strictly para...

In the title salt, C11H27N4 (+)·C24H20B(-), the C-N bond lengths in the central CN3 unit of the guanidinium ion are 1.333 (4), 1.334 (4) and 1.351 (4) Å, indicating partial double-bond character. The C atom of this unit is bonded to the three N atoms in a nearly ideal trigonal-planar geometry [N-C-N angles = 118.8 (3), 120.0 (3) and 121.2 (3)°] and the positive charge is delocalized in the CN3 ...
