| Summary: | In the title N-heterocyclic carbene compound, C32H30N42+·2PF6−, the mean plane of the naphthalene ring system makes dihedral angles of 79.15 (15) and 76.85 (16) with the imidazole rings and 56.15 (19) and 80.56 (16)° with the benzene rings. An intramolecular C—H...N hydrogen bond occurs. The crystal structure is stabilized by C—H...F interactions. In addition, π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.848 (1) and 3.574 (3) Å] are observed. The nine equatorial F atoms in the two PF6− anions were disordered over two positions with occupancy ratios of 0.545 (10):0.455 (10) and 0.793 (11):0.207 (11) in the two anions. |
