“…High-resolution carbon-13 NMR spectra of monohalobenzenes (1303), polyacrylonitrile (1304), and some polyelectrolytes (1305) have been reported. High-resolution NMR evidence of conformational preference at a solid interface (1306) and investigation of the structure of the adducts formed by the interaction of benzylidenemalononitriles (1307) have appeared.…”

Crystals of the 1:l adduct of tributylphosphine withp-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile are monoclinic, a = 13.719(2), b = 12.557(5), c = 14.229(3) ?L, P = 110.59(2)", Z = 4, space group P211c. The structure was determined with diffractometer data by direct methods and refined by block-diagonal leastsquares calculations to R = 0.10 for 1405 observed reflections. The structure is zwitterionic with the positive charge localized on the phosphorus atom and the negative charge mainly on the terminal -C(CN)2 group.Les cristaux de I'adduit 1:1 de la tributylphosphine avec le p-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile sont monocliniques avec a = 13.719(2), b = 12.557(5), c = 14.229(3) ?L, P = 110.59(2)",Z = 4, le groupe spatial est P211c.

Chem.. 51. 2794 (1973) All the reactions involving the interaction of nucleophiles with electronegatively substituted alkenes can be rationalized in terms of an initial attack of the nucleophile on the P-carbon atom of the alkene to form the intermediate (I), whose further reaction can give rise to a variety of products depending on the conditions (eq. 1 ; X is an electronegative sustituent) (1). The existence of species of type 1 has been verified in the case of substituted stilbenes for charged nucleophiles (2-4).When the nucleophile is uncharged, a special case of eq. 1 arises and a zwitterion should be formed, eq. 2. One case where an adduct of 1 : 1 stoichiometry has been experimentally observed in such an attack by a neutral nucleophile is the interaction of tributylphosphines with benzylidenemalononitriles (5). Horner and Klupfel (5) originally formulated the structure as the zwitterion (2). Since then, several other possible structures have been considered (6,7).A recent n.m.r. investigation (7) has concluded that the zwitterionic structure (2) was correct. Because of the direct relevance of these compounds to the theory of nucleophilic alkene substitution reactions, the structure analysis of the 1 : 1 adduct of tributylphosphine with p-chlorobenzylidenemalononitrile was undertaken in an attempt to confirm the results of the n.m.r. investigation. ExperimentalThe adduct crystallized from dioxan as yellowish irregular fragments. A small crystal was mounted a n d sealed in a thin-walled capillary (when left in the open the crystals showed evidence of decomposition and of being hydroscopic). Unit-cell and space group data were obtained from various rotation, Weissenberg, and precession photographs; accurate cell parameters were obtained by a least-squares procedure applied to the setting angles of 12 general reflections measured o n a diffractometer.
