9-(2,5-Dimethyl-phen-oxy-carbon-yl)-10-methyl-acridinium trifluoro-methane-sulfonate.

In the title compound, C(23)H(20)NO(2) (+)·CF(3)SO(3) (-), the acridine ring system is oriented at a dihedral angle of 23.1 (1)° with respect to the benzene ring and the carboxyl group is twisted at an angle of 74.1 (1)° relative to the acridine skeleton. In the crystal, adjacent cations are linked through C-H⋯π inter-actions and neighboring cations and anions via weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The mean planes of adjacent acridine units are either parallel or inclined at angles of 15.0 (1), 26.9 (1) and 48.1 (1)° in the crystal structure.
