(S)-(−)-1-Phenylethanaminium 4-(4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-3a,4a-diaza-4-borata-s-indacen-8-yl)benzoate

Abstract

The title compound, C8H12N+·C20H18BF2N2O2−, crystallizes with a significant amount of void space [4.0 (5)%] in the unit cell. The structure displays N—H...O hydrogen bonding between the components. The plane formed by the benzoic acid moiety of the BODIPY-CO2− is twisted by 80.71 (6)° relative to the plane formed by the ring C and N atoms of the tetramethyldipyrrin portion of the molecule.
