A toluene solution of 2,2'-bipyridine (3.90 g, 25.0 mmol) was added dropwise with stirring at 195 K to a solution of 9-boroniumbicyclo[3.3.1]nonane trifluoromethanesulfonate (6.74 g, 25.0 mmol) in 50 ml of hexane. The white precipitate gradually formed upon warming to ambient temperature and the resulting slurry was stirred for another 2 h. The white solid material was collected on a frit, extracted three times with toluene (10 ml) and dried in vacuo. The yield was 9.69 g (91%) of [II], melting point 503 K. Colourless crystals suitable for the X-ray measurements were obtained by slow evaporation of a solution in acetonitril at ambient temperature.
The H atoms were refined with fixed individual displacement parameters [U(H) = 1.2Ueq(C)] using a riding model with fixed distances: H—C(primary) = 1.00 Å, H—C(secondary) = 0.99 Å and H—C(aromatic) = 0.95 Å.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

2,2'-Bipyridylboronium ions, [I]+, are structurally related to the electron-acceptor diquat, which possesses an ethylene bridge instead of the BRR' unit and behaves as perfectly reversible two-step redox system (see scheme). [I]+ exhibits a similar electrochemical behavior as diquat. The degree of reversibility of the two reduction processes, however, depends on the solvent employed, as well as on the nature of the substituents R and R' (Hünig & Wehner, 1989). Currently, we are exploring the potential of 2,2'-bipyridylboronium cations as acceptor units in electron transfer salts and as redox catalysts (Fabrizi de Biani et al., 1997; Ding, Ma, Fabrizi de Biani et al., 2001; Ding, Ma, Bolte et al., 2001). In contrast to diquat, [I]+ is convenient to derivatize and can easily be incorporated into a wide variety of molecular aggregates. To generate electrochemically stable acceptor molecules possessing high solubility in organic solvents, we are currently investigating 2,2'-bipyridylboronium salts with bulky organic substituents at the boron center. In this context, the title derivative, [II], appeared to be particularly well suited. The corresponding hexafluorophosphate salt has already been shown to possess the desired electrochemical properties (Hünig & Wehner, 1989). Structural information about this molecule, however, is lacking. We report here the results of an X-ray crystal structure analysis of the trifluoromethanesulfonate salt, [II] (Fig. 1).
The dimensions of the 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane group are comparable to those found in related structures (Brock et al., 1992; Fraenk et al., 1999; Yalpani et al., 1990; Wrackmeyer et al., 1995). The B—C bond lengths are 1.6150 (16) and 1.6188 (16) Å. The B—N bond lengths are 1.6125 (14) and 1.6136 (14) Å. The angle between the two pyridyl planes is 2.88 (5)°. The bipyridyl group is slightly tilted with respect to the 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane group; the angle between the plane through N1/C5/C6/N2 and the plane bisecting C11—B—C15 is 8.5 (1)°. This tilting may result from crystal-packing effects. The B atom lies 0.114 (2) Å outside the plane through N1/C5/C6/N2. The molecule shows three short intramolecular H···H contacts: H1···H12A 2.02 Å, H10···H18A 2.03 Å and H13A···H17A 2.04 Å. The crystal packing shows seven intermolecular C—H···O contacts with H···O distances between 2.34 and 2.60 Å. Each cation is connected by these C—H···O contacts to three neighbouring anions and in a similar way. each anion is connected to three neighbouring cations, resulting in hydrogen-bonded layers of cations and anions parallel to the yz plane (Fig. 2). These layers are connected in the a direction by two very long intermolecular C—H···F contacts with H···F distances of 2.73 and 2.80 Å. These contacts are very weak. As a result, the crystals can easily be split along [100].
