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...

A formal umpolung strategy is presented for the enantioselective installation of an alkenyl group with a terminal double bond at a tertiary center. This one-pot two-step sequence relies on the unique features of the nitro group, which after inverting the polarity of the alkenylating agent toward the desired bond formation, itself serves as a leaving group. The application of this protocol to cy...

In the title salt, C6H14N3(+)·C3H5O3(-), the C-N bond lengths in the central CN3 unit of the carboxamidinium cation are 1.3262 (18), 1.3359 (18) and 1.3498 (18) Å, indicating partial double-bond character. The central C atom is bonded to the three N atoms in a nearly ideal trigonal-planar geometry and the positive charge is delocalized in the CN3 plane. The piperidine ring is in a chair conform...

The organo-boron species formed from the reactions of boron atoms with acetylene in solid neon are investigated using matrix isolation infrared spectroscopy with isotopic substitutions as well as quantum chemical calculations. Besides the previously reported single C-H bond activation species, a cyclic-HBC2BH diboron species is formed via double C-H bond activation of acetylene. It is character...

The title compound, C12H9BrN2OS2, was obtained by reacting 6-bromo-benzo[d]thia-zole-2-carbo-nitrile in iso-propanol with ethyl 2-mercapto-2-methyl-propano-ate at reflux temperature for several hours. The resulting di-methyl-oxyluciferin derivative shows partial double-bond character of the carbon-carbon bond between the two heterocyclic moieties [C-C = 1.461 (3) Å]. This double bond restricts ...

Biogenic hydrocarbons emitted by vegetation are important contributors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA), but the aerosol formation mechanisms are incompletely understood. In this study, the formation of aerosols and gas-phase products from the ozonolysis and photooxidation of a series of biogenic hydrocarbons (isoprene, 8 monoterpenes, 4 sesquiterpenes, and 3 oxygenated terpenes) are examined...
