Ammonia–triphenylborane

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C18H18BN or (C6H5)3B·NH3, comprises two crystallographically independent but virtually identical molecules. Molecules of one type are linked with each other by N—H...π interactions, generating an infinite column aligned along the b-axis direction. The columns of different types of molecules are interconnected by C—H...π interactions, producing a three-dimensional array.
