Abstract: We consider the (finite-dimensional) small quantum group at q=i. We show that does not allow for an R-matrix, even though UotimesVcongVotimesU holds for all finite-dimensional representations U,V of . We then give an explicit coassociator Phi and an R-matrix R such that becomes a quasi-triangular quasi-Hopf algebra. Our construction is motivated by the two-dimensional chiral conformal field theory of symplectic fermions with central charge c=−2. There, a braided monoidal category, mathcalSF, has been computed from the factorisation and monodromy properties of conformal blocks, and we prove that is braided monoidally equivalent to mathcalSF.
