greater than o r e ual to 3u(l) above background where u2(l) = S + 2B + (O.O4(S - B); with S = scan count and B = normalized background count.

'The structure was solved by direct methods, the coordinates of all non-hydrogen atoms being determined from an E-map. The non- hydrogen atoms were refined with anisotropic thermal parameters and the hydrogen atoms were fixed in idealized ositions (staggered methyls, C(sp2&H = 0.97, C(sp3&~ = 0.98 .f, UH a Ubondld .,,.). Scattering factors for all atoms and anomalous scattering corrections for 0 , N, and C were taken from ref. 7. The weighting scheme w = l /d (F) , where u2(F) is derived from the previously defined u2(l), gave uniform average values of w(lFol - 1 ~ ~ 1 ) ~ over ranges of both IF,I and sin 0 / h and was employed in the final stages of full-matrix refinement of 281 variables. Reflections with I < 3u(l) were not included in the refinement. An isotropic Type I extinction correction (Thomley-Nelmes definition of mosaic anisotropy with a Lorentzian distribution) was applied (8- 10). 'The final value of g was 0.80(9) x lo4. Convergence was reached at R = 0.036 and R, = 0.038 for 1536 reflections with I 2 3 4 4 . For all 2588 reflections R = 0.077. A parallel refinement of the mirror-image structure resulted in R factor ratios of 1.009 on both R andR,v.The function minimized wasCw(l~,I - IF,~)~,R =zll~~l- IFcll/zlFoI and R, = (Cw(lF,(- ~ F ~ I ) ~ / ~ w ~ F , ( ~ ) ' ~ ~ .

On the final cycle of refinement the mean and maximum parameter shifts corresponded to 0.01 and 0.08u, respectively. The mean error in an observation of unit weight was 0.691. The largest peak on the final difference map was 0.16 e k3. The final positional and thermal parameters appear in Tables 1 and 6,4 respectively. Measured and calculated structure factors have been placed in the Depository of Unpublished Data.4 The final F, and F, values for the intense reflections indicate the possibility of anisotropic extinction. The ap- plication of an anisotropic extinction correction in this case, however, was judged inappropriate since only a small number of reflections was involved, and in only one instance was IIFo( - lFcll greater than 3u(F) (3.7uforOO2).

The ellipsoids of thermal motion for the non-hydrogen atoms are shown in Fig. 1. The thermal motion has been analysed in terms of the rigid-body modes of translation, libration, and screw motion (1 1). The rms standard error in the temperature factors aUij (derived from the least-squares analysis) is 0.0031 A2.

analysed separately (rms AUV = 0.0024-0.0035 A2). The appropriate bond distances have been corrected for libration (1 1, 12). Corrected bond lengths appear in Table 2 along with the uncorrected values. Corrected values for the bond angles and torsion angles for the tricyclo[5.4.0.03. 9]undecane system are within one standard deviation of the uncorrected values given in Tables 3 and 4. Calculated hydrogen coordinates and thermal parameters (Table 5) and a complete listing of torsion angles (Table 7) are included as supplementary material.

Results and discussion The crystal structure of 6 consists of discrete molecules sepa-

rated by normal van der Waals distances. The shortest inter- molecular contacts between non-hydrogen atoms are C(2)...C(5)(1/2 + x, 112 - y, 2 - z) = 3.346(6), C(3)...C(9)(x, y - 1, z) = 3,337(7), andO(1)---C(l)(x - 112, 112 - y, 2 - z) = 3.348(5) A. The structure analysis confirms the existence of the tricyclo[5.4.0.03~ 'lundecane ring system 6A, a heteroana- log of the "4-homotwistane" system (4). The tricycloundecane system contains three six-membered rings and two seven- membered rings which all have boat or boat-like conformations (see Table 4). The conformational flexibility of the eleven- membered ring allows the formation of two transannular N+B coordinative bonds, resulting in formation of the symmetric homotwistane analog. In the related cyclooctane system only one transannular N+B bond is formed to give the fused-ring compound 2 (1, 2), the strained tricyclo[3.3.0.03~7]octane system 1 (Dwdinoradamantane (13)) not existing under normal conditions in the solid state (2). The tricyclic ring system in 6A contains two sp3-hybridized boron atoms with a tetrahedral arrangement of ligands and one sp2-hybridized boron atom. Incorporation of the latter into the ring system is responsible for distortions from an "ideal" homotwistane skeleton, carbocyclic derivatives of which have been synthesized (14). .

Bond lengths5 involving the tetrahedrally coordinated boron atoms in 6A may be compared with those observed for six other compounds having a P ~ B N ( s P ~ ) O ~ ligand set (2, 15-18). While the individual bond lengths involving the boron atoms vary considerably in these "PhBN(sp3)0~ compounds (B--C = 1.582-1.641, 0-B = 1.438-1.497, and N-B = 1.649-

'~ibration corrected bond lengths (esd's assumed equal to those of the uncorrected values) are employed in the discussion and are com- pared with similarly treated (1 1) distances unless otherwise stated.

1.759 A), the sums of the bond length! at boron lie within the tems (15), fused-ring systems with the N-B bond at the ring relatively ?mall range of 6.191-6.297 A with an average value junction (2, 16-18), and in the present case a bridged-ring of 6.228 A. These bond length sums are sensitive to ring-size system in which both the B and N atoms occupy briGgehead and other steric effects and are a good indicator of the overall positions. The average bond length sum in 6A, 6.191 A, is the strain at the boron atom and its substituents. These compounds smallest yet observed for a " P ~ B N ( s ~ ~ ) O ~ " compound and is include monocyclic six-membered boron-containing ring sys- indicative of a relatively low-strain system.

formations about the N-B bonds in 6A are partially responsible for this. In related systems with fully substituted B and N atoms, steric factors result in less favorable conformations about rather long N-B bonds (2, 15, 16).

The average N-B distance of 1.659 A in 6A is the shortest observed for a " P h B ~ ( s p ~ ) $ l ~ " compound; similar to the values of 1.634 (uncorr.)- 1.657 A observed for relatively strain-free N,O-chelates of the type C ( S ~ ~ ) ~ B N ( S ~ ~ ) O (19-24). The bond distances between the tetrahedral boron atoms and the-nitrogen- bound oxygen atoms (mean B---O(N) = 1.495(4) A) are the longest &B distances yet observed for a " P h B ~ ( s p ~ ) 0 ~ " compound but are strikingly short compared with corresponding distances of 1.5 17 (uncorr.)- 1.604 A reported for other boron chelates with N-oxide ligands (25-31). The mean ~ ( s p ~ ) X distance of 1.597(4) A in 6A is close to the uncorrected mean value of 1.602 A observed for the other "PhBN(sp3)02" com- pounds (2, 15- 18).

The two B(sp2)---0 bonds (1.357(6) and 1.370(6) A) are relatively short, demonstrating the partial n-bond character resulting from pp(n) back-donation from the two oxygen atoms to boron within the trigonal planar phenylboronate system. Similar ~ ( s p ' ) - O distances have been reported for the free arylboronic acids PhB(OH)2 (32), mean 1.371(6) A, and 4- B I C ~ H ~ B ( O H ) ~ (33), uncorrected mean 1.36 A. The uncor- rected B(sp2)-4 distanc~s in various phenylboronate de!iva- tives range 1.3 1 1 - 1.42 1 A with an average value of 1.370 A (2, 15, 16, 18,28,30,32-42). The B(sp2)&B(sp3) linkages in 6A are unique among organoboron compounds in that the B(sp2)-0 distances are normal. This may be ascribed to the fact that both oxygen atoms of the phenylboronate moiety are bonded to ~ ( s p ~ ) atoms. In all other structurally characterized

organoboron compounds containing B(sp2)--0-~(sp~) units only one such unit is present, displaying very short B(sp2)--0 bonds (1.31 1- 1.367, uncorrected mean 1.338 A) and normal ~ ( s p ~ ) - O distances (1.444- 1.495, uncorrected mean 1.47 1 A) (2, 15, 16, 18,28,40,42). In the present case it is the ~ ( s p ~ ~ ) - 0[B(sp2)] bonds which are short at 1.436((5) and 1.444(6) A.

The B ( s p 2 w distance of 1.574(6) A i~~slightly longer than the average uncorrected value of 1.552 A , but in the range 1.506- 1.582 A observed for other phenylboronate derivatives (2, 15, 16, 18, 28, 30, 32-42). As expected, the ~ ( s p ' ) X bond is shorter than the ~ ( s p ~ ) X bonds, indicating a n- interaction between the phenyl ring and the trigonal planar boron atom. The sp2-hybridized boron atom is displaced 0.026(5) A from the plane of its substituents and the angle between the normals to the B(2) coordination plane and the associated phenyl mean plane is 7.3", a typical value for such systems.

It can be concluded that in the case of N-methyl and B-phenyl substitution the formation of 6A is favored in the condensation reaction of 3 with phenylboronic acid, even at an adduct ratio of 1:2. 6A appears to be the thermodynamically most stable struc- ture in this complex-building system. The structure of 6A can also be interpreted in terms of the boat form of the well-known (43-46) BONBON ring, conformationally locked by the ethylene bridge between the nitrogen atoms, and containing an additional boronate bridge linking the ring boron atoms (see formula 7).
