| Summary: | The title compound, C7H7N·B(C6F5)3·C6H14, was obtained by the stoichiometric reaction of 2-vinylpyridine and tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane in toluene. The formed adduct exhibits a restricted rotation along the B—N bond resulting in an asymmetry, which can be also observed in the 19F NMR spectra. The B—N distance is equivalent to the distances found for 2-methylpyridine and 2-ethylpyridine B(C6F5)3 adducts. For the final refinement, the contributions of disordered solvent molecules were removed from the diffraction data with SQUEEZE in PLATON [van der Sluis & Spek (1990). Acta Cryst. A46, 194–201; Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148–155].
