Dichloridobis(methylamine-N)boron(III) chloride

M. Weinmann, J. Nuss and M. Jansen

Abstract: The title compound, C₂H₁₀BCl₂N₂⁺·Cl^- or [BCl₂(H₃CNH₂)₂]⁺·Cl^-, is the first crystallographically characterized di(alkylamine)-BCl₂⁺ salt. The B atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by two Cl and two methylamine N atoms. In the crystal structure, the cations and anions interact via N-HCl hydrogen bonds (mean HCl = 2.40 Å), resulting in a layered structure.
