12-Dimethylamino-2,2-difluoro-8-phenyl-1λ⁵,3-diaza-2λ⁴-boratricyclo[7.3.0.0^3,7]dodeca-1(12),4,6,8,10-pentaen-1-ylium

Abstract

In the title boron–dipyrromethene derivative, C17H16BF2N3, the benzene ring and the boron–dipyrromethene mean plane form a dihedral angle of 55.82 (8)°. In the crystal, pairs of C—H⋯F inter­actions link the mol­ecules, forming inversion dimers. Further C—H⋯F inter­actions link the dimers into a three-dimensional network.
