In the title boron–dipyrromethene derivative, C17H16BF2N3, the benzene ring and the boron–dipyrromethene mean plane form a dihedral angle of 55.82 (8)°. In the crystal, pairs of C—HF interactions link the molecules, forming inversion dimers. Further C—HF interactions link the dimers into a three-dimensional network.
