1-Methyl-3-(4-vinylbenzyl)imidazolium chloride was synthesized according to the literature method (Kim et al., 2005). The resulting white solid (0.70 g, 3.00 mmol) was dissolved in acetone (30 ml) and then potassium hexafluorophosphate (1.38 g, 7.50 mmol) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 26 h and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The residue was then dissolved in distilled water and extracted with CH2Cl2. The white solid was abtained after the removal of solvent. Yield: 0.78 g (76%). Anal. Calcd for C13H15F6N2P: C,45.36; H, 4.39; N, 8.14. Found: C, 45.13; H, 4.03; N, 8.35. The elemental analyses were performed with Vario MICRO elemental analyzer.
The H-atoms were included in the riding-model approximation with C—H = 0.93 Å and C—H = 0.96 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C-aromatic) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C-methyl).
N-heterocyclic
have attracted great attention as they can act as efficient supporting ligands in organometallic chemistry and (Herrmann, 2002). Imidazolium salts are the useful precusors of the N-heterocyclic The silver compound with 1-methyl-3-(4-vinylbenzyl)imidazol-2-ylidene has been synthesized (Lu et al., 2009).The structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The two aromatic rings enclose a dihedral angle of 85.48 (7)°. The hexafluorophosphate anions are linked to 1-methyl-3-(4-vinylbenzyl)imidazolium cations via C—H···F hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig. 2). These interacions stabilize the crystal structure.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

N-heterocyclic carbenes have attracted great attention as they can act as efficient supporting ligands in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis (Herrmann, 2002). Imidazolium salts are the useful precusors of the N-heterocyclic carbenes. The silver compound with 1-methyl-3-(4-vinylbenzyl)imidazol-2-ylidene has been synthesized (Lu et al., 2009).
The structure of the title compound is shown in Fig. 1. The two aromatic rings enclose a dihedral angle of 85.48 (7)°. The hexafluorophosphate anions are linked to 1-methyl-3-(4-vinylbenzyl)imidazolium cations via C—H···F hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig. 2). These interacions stabilize the crystal structure.
