[2,3-Bis(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-oxopropanalato-O,O']difluoroboron(III)

Reactivity of bis(long chain substituted β-diketonato)palladium(II) [Pd(OOR2)2] towards HBF4: formation of luminescent [BF2(OOR2)] derivatives. X-ray structure of [1,3-di(4-n-butoxyphenyl)propane-1,3-dionato]difluoroboron(III)

“…Therefore, the molecule could be defined as almost planar, in contrast with the envelope conformation of the related compounds [2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-phenyl-3-oxopropanalato-O,O 0 ]difluoroboron(III) [17] and [2, 3- [20], but it is similar to that reported for benzoylacetonatodifluoroboron(III) [19]. This planarity could be surprising in view of the steric requirements involved, although it has been demonstrated that high crowding can be tolerated in a planar system [21].…”
