In the title compound, C12H18NO+·PF6-, the asymmetric unit consists of two cation-anion pairs. The six F atoms of one anion are disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.592 (6):0.408 (6) ratio. The morpholinium rings adopt chair conformations.

Related literature

Ionic liquids based on the morpholinium cation are favored becaused of their low cost, easy synthesis, and electrochemical stability, see: Kim et al. (2006[Kim, K. S., Choi, S., Cha, J. H., Yeon, S. H. & Lee, H. (2006). J. Mater. Chem. 16, 1315-1317.]).
