Crystal structure of 9-amino-acridinium chloride N , N -di-methyl-formamide monosolvate.

9-Amino-acridinium chloride N , N -di-methyl-formamide monosolvate, C 13 H 11 N 2 + Cl - ·C 3 H 7 NO, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / c. The salt was crystallized from N , N -di-methyl-formamide. The asymmetric unit consists of two C 13 H 11 N 2 + Cl - formula units. The 9-amino-acridinium (9-AA) mol-ecules are protonated with the proton on the N atom of the central ring. This N atom is connected to an N , N -di-methyl-formamide mol-ecule by a hydrogen bond. The H atoms of the amino groups create short contacts with two chloride ions. The 9-AA cations in adjacent layers are oriented in an anti-parallel manner. The mol-ecules are linked via a network of multidirectional π-π inter-actions between the 9-AA rings, and the whole lattice is additionally stabilized by electrostatic inter-actions between ions.
