In the title compound, [Mo(C15H22BN6)Cl(NO)(C9H13N)]·CH2Cl2, the MoI atom adopts a distorted MoClN5 octahedral geometry with the hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate anion in an N,N′,N′′-tridentate tripodal (facial) coordination mode. A 4-tert-butylpyrine ligand, chloride anion and a nitrosyl cation complement the coodination of the MoI atom and an intramolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bond helps to stabilize the configuration of the complex molecule. The packing is stabilized by an intermolecular C—H...Cl hydrogen bond involving the complex molecule and the CH2Cl2 solvent molecule.
