Synthetic and X-ray diffraction studies of borosiloxane cages [R′Si(ORBO)3SiR′] and the adducts of [ButSi{O(PhB)O}3SiBut] with pyridine or N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine

Eleven borosiloxane [R′Si(ORBO)3SiR′] compounds where R′ = But and R = Ph (1), 4-PhC6H4 (2), 4-ButC6H4 (3), 3-NO2C6H4 (4), 4-CH(O)C6H4 (5), CpFeC5H4 (6), 4-C(O)CH3C6H4 (7), 4-ClC6H4 (8), 2,4-F2C6H3 (9), and R′ = cyclo-C6H11 and R = Ph (10), and 4-BrC6H4 (11) have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic (IR, NMR), mass spectrometric and, for compounds where R′ = But and R = 4-PhC6H4 (2), 4-ButC6H4 (3), 3-NO2C6H4 (4), CpFeC5H4 (6) and 2,4-F2C6H3 (9), X-ray diffraction studies. These compounds contain trigonal planar RBO2 and tetrahedral R′SiO3 units located around 11-atom "spherical" Si2O6B3 cores. The dimensions of the Si2O6B3 cores in compounds 2, 3, 4, 6 and 9 are remarkably similar. The reaction between [ButSi{O(PhB)O}3SiBut] (1), and excess pyridine yields the 1:1 adduct [ButSi{O(PhB)O}SiBut]. NC5H5 (12) while the reaction between 1 and N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine in equimolar amounts affords a 2:1 borosiloxane:amine adduct [ButSi{O(PhB)O}3SiBut]2 · Me2NCH2CH2NMe2 (13). Compounds 12 and 13 were characterised with IR and (1H, 13C and11B) NMR spectroscopies and the structure of the pyridine complex 12 was determined with X-ray techniques.
