1-Ethyl-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium tetrafluoroborate

Abstract

The title compound, C14H19N2+·BF4−, was obtained by reaction of 1-ethyl-3-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imidazolium tetrafluoroborate with sodium tetrafluoroborate. The imidazole ring makes a dihedral angle of 78.92 (13)° with the benzene ring.
