1 ▸ ) The angles around the central nitro­gen atom are all nearly the same, showing similar trends, with the smallest angle between the phenyl groups without the electron-accepting group: 116.71 (14), 120.27 (14), 123.02 (15)° in the title compound Me2-Ph 3 N-TCV and 116, 121, 123° in Ph 3 N-TCV, whereas the C—N bond lengths are clearly significantly shorter for the ring bearing the electron acceptor.
