The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C(5)H(12)N(+)·C(14)H(8)BO(6) (-) or [C(5)H(12)N][BO(4)(C(7)H(4)O)(2)], contains two piperidinium cations and two bis-(salicylato)borate anions. The coordination geometries around the B atoms are distorted tetra-hedral. In the two mol-ecules, the aromatic rings are oriented at dihedral angles of 76.27 (3) and 83.86 (3)°. The rings containing B atoms hav...

In the title compound, [Cr(C(15)H(22)BN(6))Cl(2)(C(5)H(8)N(2))]·C(4)H(8)O, the Cr(III) atom is coordinated by three N atoms from the hydro-tris-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)borate (Tp*) ligand, one 3,5-dimethyl-pyrazole (Dmpy) N atom and two Cl atoms in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. Two N atoms occupy the axial sites, and the two Cl atoms and other two N atoms from Tp* lie in the...

THE TITLE COMPOUND, SODIUM TETRABORATE DECAHYDRATE (MINERAL NAME: borax), Na(2)[B(4)O(5)(OH)(4)]·8H(2)O, has been studied previously using X-ray [Morimoto (1956). Miner. J.2, 1-18] and neutron [Levy & Lisensky (1978). Acta Cryst. B34, 3502-3510] diffraction data. The structure contains tetra-borate anions [B(4)O(5)(OH)(4)](2-) with twofold rotation symmetry, which form hydrogen-bonded chains, a...

In the title paramagnetic 19-electron neutral complex, [W(BH(4))(C(21)H(24)N(2))(2)(NO)(2)], the W(0) atom is coordinated by two 1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethyl-phen-yl)imidazol-2-yl-idene (IMes) carbene ligands, two NO groups and two H atoms of an η(2)-tetra-hydro-borate ligand. Depending on the number of coordination sites (n) assigned to the BH(4) (-) ligand, the coordination geometry of the W atom...

In the crystal structure of the title salt, C(12)H(30)N(4) (2+)·2C(24)H(20)B(-), the C-N bond lengths in the central CN(3) unit of the guanidinium ion are 1.3388 (17), 1.3390 (16) and 1.3540 (17) Å, indicating partial double-bond character in each. 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 CN(3) pla...

In the title salt, C15H36N6 (2+)·2C24H20B(-), the three N-C bond lengths in the central C3N unit of the bis-amidinium ion range between 1.388 (3) and 1.506 (3) Å, indicating single- and double-bond character. Furthermore, four C-N bonds have double-bond character. Here, the bond lengths range from 1.319 (3) to 1.333 (3) Å. Delocalization of the positive charges occurs in the N/C/N and C/N/C pla...

In the title salt, C16H34N5O3 (+)·C24H20B(-), the C-N bond lengths in the cation are 1.3368 (16), 1.3375 (18) and 1.3594 (17) 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 delocal-ized in the CN3 plane. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O contacts are observed between neighbouring guani...

The asymmetric unit of the title salt C(8)H(22)N(4) (2+)·2C(7)H(5)O(2) (-), comprises two independent pairs of half a 2,2'-(piperazine-1,4-di-yl)diethanaminium dication plus a benzoate anion. The dications are symmetrical and lie across crystallographic centres of inversion. The crystal structure was refined as a two-component pseudo-merohedral twin using the twin law 001 0-10 100 [he domain fr...

In the title solvated salt, C7H16NO(+)·C24H20B(-)·C2H3N, the C-N bond lengths in the cation are 1.2831 (19), 1.467 (2) and 1.465 (2) Å, indicating double- and single-bond character, respectively. The C-O bond length of 1.2950 (18) Å shows a double-bond character, pointing towards charge delocalization within the NCO plane of the iminium ion. The two C atoms of the n-butyl group are disordered o...
