Structure and Thermal Motion of Triphenylboroxin,
Abstract
The molecular dimensions determined are very similar to those found previously for the related hydrocarbon 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene, but the conformations of the two molecules differ. The phenylrings in the hydrocarbon adopt a propeller-like arrangement, while in the boroxin they are nearly coplanar with the central 8303 ring. Possible relationships between thermal-motion descriptions and the intramolecular potential-energy surfaces for these two compounds are considered. Keywords: Boroxin, X-ray crystal structure, Benzenes.
