title: Benzyl-ammonium tetra-fluoro-borate 18-crown-6 clathrate.
abstract: The reaction of benzyl-ammonium tetra-fluoro-borate and 18-crown-6 in a methano-lic solution yields the title compound, C(7)H(10)N(+)·BF(4) (-)·C(12)H(24)O(6)O6, which displays a supra-molecular structure. The -NH(3) (+) substituent of the benzyl-ammonium cation forms a 1:1 supra-molecular rotator-stator structure by N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
