[1,3-Bis(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene]triiodoborane benzene hemisolvate

Abstract

In the title hemisolvate, C27H36BI3N2 .0.5C6H6, the dihedral angles between the central heterocyclic ring and pendant benzene rings are 82.9 (8) and 88.7 (9)° and the complete benzene solvent molecule of crystallization is generated by a crystallographic centre of inversion. In the crystal, one very weak C—H...I interaction links the molecules into [001] chains.
