organic compounds
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 π–π interactions (between the benzene rings). These layers, in turn, are linked via a network of five multidirectional π–π 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)°.
metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [Zn(C12H27O3SSi)2(C7H9N)], is a molecular zinc thiolate containing, as an additional ligand, 3,5-dimethylpyridine. The ZnII ion coordination is distorted trigonal-bipyramidal, formed by two S, two O and one N atom, with the Zn atom lying on a twofold rotation axis. Molecules pack as discrete units, with no intermolecular contacts shorter than those arising from van der Waals forces.
organic compounds
Adjacent molecules of the title compound, C20H11Br2NO2, are oriented either parallel or antiparallel; in the latter case, there are four intermolecular π–π interactions between acridine rings. The acridine and benzene ring systems are inclined at an angle of 41.2 (2)° to each other. There is also a short intermolecular BrBr contact.
