Abstract

In the title compound (systematic name: 3,8-diamino-5-ethyl-6-phenylphenanthridin-5-ium 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutyrate), C21H20N3 +·C4F7O2 -, two ethidium ions, C21H20N3 + form a dimerized structure due to π-π inter-actions, even though they are positively charged. The hepta-fluoro-butyrate anions are connected to neighbouring cation dimers via hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, the hydrogen-bonding donor sites of the -NH2 groups of the ethidium ions connecting to the hydrogen-bonding acceptor sites of the -COO- groups of the hepta-fluoro-butyrate anions.
