H. Vitze, H.-W. Lerner and M. Bolte

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, Na[(C₆F₅)BH₃], is composed of discrete anions and cations. The sodium cations are surrounded by four anions with three short NaB [2.848 (8), 2.842 (7) and 2.868 (8) Å] and two short NaF contacts [2.348 (5) and 2.392 (5) Å], forming a three-dimensional network. The anion is the first structural example of a pentafluorophenyl ring carrying a BH₃ group.
