A. Aydin et al., PREPARATION AND X-RAY STRUCTURE OF BIS(1-METHYL-3-ETHYLBENZIMIDAZOLIDINE-2-YLIUM) TETRAFLUOROBORATE, Zeitschrift fur Kristallographie, 213(9), 1998, pp. 473-476
The title compound, C20H24B2F8N4, crystalises monoclinic (space group
C2, Z = 4, a = 23.797(5) Angstrom, b = 8.330(2) Angstrom, c = 11.471(2
) Angstrom, beta = 90.17(2)degrees. R = 0.084 for 1922 [1 greater than
or equal to 2 sigma(I)]. The most notable features are the values of
the C-C bond length [1.47(1) Angstrom], of the adjacent endocyclic N-C
bond length [1.363(1) Angstrom] the torsion angle about the central C
-C bond [83 degrees] and the nearly trigonal planar environment of the
nitrogen atom.
