Crystallographic study of a heteroleptic chloroberyllium borohydride carbodicarbene complex

摘要

Interest in beryllium, the lightest member of group 2 elements, has grown substantially within the synthetic community. Herein, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of a heteroleptic haloberyllium borohydride bis(1-isopropyl-3-methyl-benzimidazol-2-ylidene)methane 'carbodicarbene' (CDC) complex [(CDC)BeCl(BH4)]. Crystallographic data: Triclinic space group P (1) over bar, a=8.8695(14), b= 12.394 (2), c = 16.844 (3) angstrom, alpha=102.395(4), beta= 96.456(4), gamma=99.164(4)degrees, wR2 (all data) = 0.2706 for 6720 unique data and 357 refined parameters.
