Abstract

Polyiodide salts of acridine orange were isolated from solutions of an acridine and I2 in methylene chloride, ethanol, and acetone. The products from all solutions were found to contain both amorphous and crystalline material. The isolated crystalline product from methylene chloride and ethanol were identical (1), but the product isolated from acetone was different (2). Complex 1 was formulated as [C17H19 N 3(H)]2(I)2ċ 3I2. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n, with a = 9.082(2) Å, b = 24.027(4) Å, c = 10.683(1) Å, β = 107.20(1)○, and D (calc) = 2.31 Mg/m3. Complex 2 was formulated as [C17H19 N 3(H)]I3. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P − 1, with a = 10.498(2) Å, b = 11.265(2) Å, c = 9.287(1) Å, αg 100.88(1)○, β = 94.57(1)○, γ = 102.10(1)○, and D (calc) = 2.05 Mg/m3.
