In the title salt solvate (systematic name: 8-amino-5-ethyl-6-phenyl-phenanthridin-5-ium benzoate methanol monosolvate), C 21 H 20 N 3 + ·C 6 H 5 CO 2 - ·CH 3 OH, two ethidium cations, C 21 H 20 N 3 + , dimerize about a twofold axis through π-π inter-actions [inter-centroid separation = 3.6137 (4) Å]. The benzoate anions are connected through hydrogen bonding with the -NH 2 groups of the ethidium cations and the -OH group of the MeOH mol-ecule. The MeOH mol-ecule also accepts a hydrogen bond from the -NH 2 group of the ethidium cation. The result is a one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chain along the b- axis direction.
