Abstract:
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(10)N)(2)[PtCl(6)]·2H(2)O, contains a protonated acridine cation, one half of a [PtCl(6)](2-) dianionic complex and a solvent water mol-ecule. The octa-hedral [PtCl(6)](2-) dianion is located on an inversion centre. π-π inter-actions between neighboring acridinium cations produce stacks along the a axis; the shortest distance between the centroids of the six-membered rings within the cations is 3.553 (9) Å. In the crystal, two independent inter-molecular O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, both involving the same Cl atom of the anion as acceptor, give rise to chains also running along the a axis; in addition each water mol-ecule, as a hydrogen-bond acceptor, is linked to the acridinium N-H group.

Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
