Abstract
The compounds [Me3N(C6H3(CF3)2)][BF4] and [Me3N(C6H3(CH3)2)][BF4] were synthesized from commercially available starting materials and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, IR and Raman spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry. Both ammonium cations show potential for applications in crystal engineering due to their structure directing properties in the solid state.
Dedicated to Professor Wolfgang Bensch on the occasion of his 70th birthday.
