Abstract: The geometry of the 4,8,12-trioxa-4,8,12,12c-tetrahydrodibenzo[cd,mn]pyrene system in the cationic state was established by X-ray structural resolution of the salts formed between the cation and various anions. The geometry was found to be planar for the 4,8,12-trioxa-4,8,12,12c-tetrahydrodibenzo[cd,mn]pyrenylium and 2,6,10-tri(tert-butyl)-4,8,12-trioxa-4,8,12,12c-tetrahydrodibenzo[cd,mn]pyrenylium cations with the monovalent anions I^-, BF, PF, AsF, HNO₃.NO and CF₃SO, and the divalent anions S₂O $_6^{2-}$ and Mo₆Cl $_{14}^{2-}$ . The salts were found to crystallize in distinct space groups following a characteristic pattern. Mixed cation-anion stacking resulted in space groups with high symmetry: Pbca in three cases and R3c in one; a temperature study of the latter was made at ten different temperatures. The formation of dimers of anions and cations resulted in lower-symmetry space groups, mainly monoclinic (P2₁/n, P2₁/c and C2/c), but also P1.
