A mixture of 1-ethyl-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium bromide (295.2 mg, 1 mmol) and sodium tetrafluoroborate (142 mg, 1.3 mmol) in THF(10 ml) was stirred for 4 h. The formed precipitate was separated by filtration and washed with Et2O and water, dried under vacuum to give an white powder (272 mg). Crystals appropriate for data collection were obtained by slow diffusion of hexane into a solution of the the title compound in dichloromethane at 293 K.
All H atoms were placed in geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms with C—H = 0.93 or 0.97 Å; with Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C).
N-Heterocyclic
(NHCs) have been playing an important role as ligands in organometallic chemistry and in catalysis ever since their isolation in the free state by Arduengo and coworkers in 1991 (Arduengo et al.,1991 and Arduengo et al., 1999). As part of our research,we designed and synthesized an unsymmetrical carbene precursor imidazolinium salt, namely the title complex (I). The molecular structure of the title complex consists of disubstituted imidazolium cation and tetrafluoroborate anion(Fig. 1). The imidazole ring and benzene ring are oriented at 78.92 (13)°, the imidazole and the plane of the atoms of N2 C13 C14 are oriented at 63.8 (2)°, the imidazole ring slightly deviates from planarity as indicated by the torsion angles: N1—C10—C11—N2 = 1.0 (3)and C11—C10—N1—N2 = -1.0 (3), with a maximum deviation of 0.0056 (18)Å for atom N1.The bond lengths of B—F bonds are ranged from 1.343 (3) to 1.385 (3) Å, and the bond angles of F—B—F are ranged from 108.9 (2) to 111.4 (3)°.For background, reviews and literature related to N-heterocyclic

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 (NHCs) have been playing an important role as ligands in organometallic chemistry and in catalysis ever since their isolation in the free state by Arduengo and coworkers in 1991 (Arduengo et al.,1991 and Arduengo et al., 1999). As part of our research,we designed and synthesized an unsymmetrical carbene precursor imidazolinium salt, namely the title complex (I). The molecular structure of the title complex consists of disubstituted imidazolium cation and tetrafluoroborate anion(Fig. 1). The imidazole ring and benzene ring are oriented at 78.92 (13)°, the imidazole and the plane of the atoms of N2 C13 C14 are oriented at 63.8 (2)°, the imidazole ring slightly deviates from planarity as indicated by the torsion angles: N1—C10—C11—N2 = 1.0 (3)and C11—C10—N1—N2 = -1.0 (3), with a maximum deviation of 0.0056 (18)Å for atom N1.The bond lengths of B—F bonds are ranged from 1.343 (3) to 1.385 (3) Å, and the bond angles of F—B—F are ranged from 108.9 (2) to 111.4 (3)°.
