Abstract

The crystal structure of (CH3)3NHBF4 was studied in three solid phases by X-ray diffraction techniques. The structures of the ionic plastic phase (Phase I) stable above 453 K and Phase II between 384 and 453 K are CsCl-type cubic (a = 5.772(4) Å) and tetragonal (a = 9.815(5) and c = 6.895(5) Å), respectively. The room temperature phase (Phase III) forms a monoclinic lattice (space group P21/m, a = 5.7017(8), b = 8.5724(9), c = 7.444(1) Å, and β= 102.76(1)°). BF4- ions in this phase were shown to be disordered in four orientations.
