Abstract: In the title compound, C₂₁H₁₄Br₂NO₂⁺·CF₃O₃S^-, adjacent cations are oriented either parallel or antiparallel. Together with the CF₃O₃S^- anions, the antiparallel-oriented cations form layers in which the ions are linked via a network of C-HO (O from the anions) and - interactions (between the benzene rings). These layers, in turn, are linked via a network of five multidirectional - interactions between the acridine rings, and the crystal structure is stabilized by electrostatic interactions between the ions. The acridine and independent benzene rings are mutually oriented at an angle of 35.9 (3)°.
