Aripiprazole salts. II. Aripiprazole perchlorate

The mol­ecular structure of aripiprazole perchlorate (systematic name: 4-(2,3-dichloro­phenyl)-1-{4-[(2-oxo-1,2,3,4-tetra­hydro­quinolin-7-yl)­oxy]­butyl}­piperazin-1-ium perchlor­ate), C₂₃H₂₈Cl₂N₃O₂⁺·ClO₄^-, does not differ substantially from the recently published structure of aripiprazole nitrate [Freire, Polla & Baggio (2012). Acta Cryst. C68, o170-o173]. Both compounds have almost identical bond distances, bond angles and torsion angles. The two different counter-ions occupy equivalent places in the two structures, giving rise to very similar first-order `packing motifs'. However, these elemental arrangements inter­act with each other in different ways in the two structures, leading to two-dimensional arrays with quite different organizations.
