The title salt, 2C16H15F3N3OS+·C6Cl2O42−, is composed of two independent cations of a lansoprazole {systematic name 2-([3-methyl-4-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)pyridin-2-yl]methylsulfinyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole} intermediate and a dianion of chloranilic acid. In the cations of the lansoprazole intermediate, the dihedral angles between the least-squares planes of the pyridine and benzimidazole rings are 11.1 (6) and 13.1 (5)°, respectively. The dihedral angles between the mean plane of the benzene ring in the chloranilic acid dianion and the pryidine and benzimidazole rings of the two lansoprazole intermediate groups are 71.8 (1)/80.5 (7) and 74.2 (4)/74.8 (6)°. In addition to ionic bond interactions, the lansoprazole intermediate and chloranilic ions are connected by strong N—HO hydrogen bonds, which produce a set of extended O—HO—HO—H chains along the b axis in the (011) plane. In addition, weak C—HO, C—HF, N—HCl and π–π [centroid–centroid distances = 3.5631 (15), 3.8187 (13), 3.7434 (17) and 3.842 (2) Å] intermolecular interactions are observed, which contribute to crystal packing stability.

The structure of the title compound, C19H28O2, has been redermined at 295 (2) K, with much improved precision. The structure and molecular packing of the title compound was first reported by Coiro et al. [Acta Cryst. (1973). B29, 1404–1409] by means of potential-energy calculations. The cell parameters in this study differ considerably in space group C2. It is a derivative of testosterone and consists of a cyclopentanone ring (A) fused to to successive cyclohexane (B and C) and cyclohexanone (D) rings. The three cyclohexanone rings are in slightly distorted boat configurations and the cyclopentanone ring is a distorted half-chair. The crystal packing is stabilized by weak intermolecular C—HO interactions involving O atoms from each of the cyclohexanone and cyclopentanone rings and H atoms from each of their respective rings.
